My brakes still work

I very nearly had a car crash yesterday. I was on my way to pick up Chris from Frankston station, heading down Frankston-Dandenong road. Just before the Frankston freeway intersection, next to the golf club there. I was cruising along, doing just under 80 (the speed limit), when someone in a red stationwagon – I… Read more
