I agree with Yvonne Cronje. As the sun then supposedly be in your eyes way you can not have a vehicle pass. For we who are left behind everything is unreal. It feels like it can not be true. We condemn the driver of the bakkie. It is just terrible that we loved in such a tragic way to its end had come. The cars really take cyclists into account. The man has far too fast. The large vehicles resignation letter also drive too close to cyclists over. The wind blows your vehicle properly to the gravel roadside. It will take a long time to accept the events and process.
I just think all the accusations must stop. Can you just imagine that by that man would have to go to know he has the people's living cost ... Yes, a man lights a vehicle over if your eyesight resignation letter is not 100% for oncoming traffic, but anyone can a mistake, and as others have said, it was perhaps unexpected after he had already resignation letter started on tasks! I do not justify what he did, but I just think he paid big for the rest of his life that day to live.
Who would deliberately crash into cyclists? If you've never been behind the wheel of a vehicle suddenly blinded by the sun is not so ... what can I say. Place a guard at your mouth and pray that you do not yourself of tomorrow in such a situation not. I pray the Lord's grace on the families.
This is a terrible accident. Let the one who has never made a mistake has not cast the first stone. My heart goes out to all who lost loved ones, but remember, it could be me or you or your family have been in a split decision resignation letter to the truck now passing. What would your reaction have been? Good luck to the driver of the pickup.
It was a tragic accident and I agree with Bonny that we can not judge, because none of us were there to see what really happened. resignation letter Maybe we should all wait for the police report to us any blame for someone's resignation letter door. That 62-year-old uncle need for the rest of his life to live that he was the cause of death of three people and I think that's punishment enough for him. To crucify him now about what happened resignation letter is unnecessary because it will not bring back the dead or their families' grief no less. All that should crucify him so maybe some sit and think of them as innocent, because who among us has never had a chance and daring. Stand rather the families and the man with!! resignation letter
It's resignation letter terribly sad what happened. My heart goes out to all who were affected. I was just the previous afternoon witnessed a gruesome resignation letter head-on collision near Dysselsdorp. I wonder resignation letter why there are no reports of it is not ...
If I was not there, I would not point fingers, but I tend to agree with Yvonne. How can you have a big truck overtaking the sun blinded you? What if there was a car
