Formal Complaint Regarding Driving Incident – 28 February 2026 at 09h30

I wish to formally report an incident that occurred this morning, 28 February 2026, at approximately 09h30, involving a black Volvo vehicle with license plate KSC369EC. While we were walking, the driver of the vehicle accelerated past us at what felt like an uncomfortably close distance while walking next to the curb, creating the impression that he may have intended to frighten us. The proximity and speed at which the vehicle passed made the situation feel unsafe and alarming. We could not walk on the curb as there was vegetation planted on that stretch. I would also like to emphasize that there was no oncoming traffic at the time of the incident. The driver had ample space and opportunity to pass at a safe distance. Choosing to drive so close to me, despite having the ability to maintain a wider berth, significantly increased the risk and contributed to the distressing nature of the encounter. Concerned about the incident, I visited the William Moffett Volvo Dealership to report the matter. The sales staff initially received me in a friendly and professional manner. However, when I began explaining that a vehicle had nearly collided with us in the parking area, their demeanor changed noticeably and for good reason. Not good feedback and I assume as a shock. Shortly thereafter, a gentleman emerged from the offices and identified himself as the driver of the vehicle in question. He stated that I had been walking in the middle of the road and informed us that he had been traveling at 25 km/h. From my perspective, the vehicle did not appear to be traveling at that speed when it passed me. Unfortunately, there was no apology offered, nor was there any attempt to resolve the matter constructively. He indicated that he would review the camera footage but did not allow me the opportunity to view it with him. The interaction concluded without any meaningful resolution, and the driver turned his back and returned to his office. I was left feeling unsettled by both the incident and the response. I am also concerned about the preservation of any available camera footage and vehicle speed data that may provide clarity regarding the situation. During our interaction, the driver’s demeanor came across as dismissive and somewhat arrogant. There was no acknowledgement of the distress caused, nor any attempt to de-escalate the situation or offer reassurance. This response was disappointing and did little to address the safety concerns raised. I trust that this matter will be reviewed appropriately and that any relevant footage or vehicle data will be examined to ensure accountability and prevent similar incidents in the future.
