A mother and concerned resident of Narromine has slammed elderly drivers using the Mitchell Highway saying their driving causes others to become frustrated, leading to accidents.
A letter was pinned to the community notice board in Coles in Narromine addressed to the "older residents of Narromine/ or other inconsiderate drivers that travel on the highway to Dubbo".
The letter condemned road users who travel at speeds lower than 110km/h along the Mitchell Highway between Dubbo and Narromine.
"If I get stuck behind you, I will take down your number plates and report you to [Transport for NSW] for investigation and you will have to sit another driving test, and may lose your licence," the letter warned.
"You are not being safe and you are being inconsiderate and causing the other drivers that are stuck behind you to get very frustrated and that's when accidents happen.
"So if you can't drive the speed limit, catch the bus into town, because you are going to cause an accident.
"That highway is so dangerous and I don't want any of my family killed. So think about it. If you aren't confident enough to go 110 km/h don't drive, we don't need you on the road.
"I also encourage all other road users who are fed up with these drivers to do the same. Let's keep our roads safe."
