My brakes saved his life
Driving twoards downtown Freeport on Rt. 1, in front of the "Big Indian", this kid pulls out of the parking lot without stoping less then 50ft in front of me as I was going between 45-50mph. In 10 years driving, I have never had to hit my breaks so hard before! I had to swerve into the oncoming traffic lane and skidded to a halt less then two inches from this kids driver side door! He stopped and just staired at me, he looked under 18, and then he just took off down Rt. 1 as if nothing happened!
I went right after him and took down his plate number, calling ahead to the Freeport police. I dont know if they got him or not. I intend to go back to that parking lot and see if he works in any of the shops there. What really shook me up was that if I reacted even a second or two less, this kid would be dead. His plate # was 5002 NZ.
