[quote=Anonymous]We were out for a family walk tonight - a car turned into our neighborhood going super fast and nearly ran over my 9 YO who was walking in front of me along the grass next to the road (we don't have sidewalks in our neighborhood).  The car was seriously 5 feet from her.  I was about 50 feet behind her (waiting for dog to catch up) and when I saw him coming, I yelled out and threw my arms in the air (waving to warn him).  He clearly saw me and just zoomed past.  The car turned on the very first cul de sac, so I followed it up the road and watched it pull into the garage of a neighboring home.  I was so angry/upset that I wanted to storm up his driveway and chew him out, but didn't think I'd be able to be civil, and my kids were still with me.  I don't know this neighbor at all, but I called a friend who lives across the street and verified the name of the person driving based on a description of the man and his car.

I just sent him an email briefly recounting the situation and asking him to please slow down.  I tried to keep it very polite and matter of fact without any reference to the pure terror I'm still feeling as I recall the sight of his car barreling down on my tiny little 9 year old.

Was this the right way to deal with it?  i thought about calling but couldn't imagine what I'd say and knew I wouldn't be able to control my emotion.

Advice? Thoughts?  [/quote]
