Another letter…
My husband travels regularly on a dirt road between jbay and st. francis bay, A few weeks back traveling at a low speed of just 60km/hr ,the back of our fortunner swung out, after hitting the corregation in the road, and the car skid across the dirt road, thank god there was no on coming traffic, and continued down the embankment and through a game fence. My husband managed to secure the steering without rolling the car, which was a huge probability. However the car’s damage did amount to close on R80000.00 worth, and my husband was lucky to get out alive, let alone seriously injured. Had it been myself, I am sure I would not have been so lucky, as my first instinct would have been to hit the brakes. Just the day before I was driving down the same dirt road with my 18month baby and daughter, 5 years of age and her best freind, 4 years of age. This is a serious issue which has to be dealt with in a serious capacity. We are very disillusioned over buying the vechile which we were so sold on, and am now afraid to travel any dirt road, which living where we do, is essential. Please advice on what is to be done about our vechile to ensure the safety of our children and ourselves. I look forward to hearing from you ASAP regarding this matter.
