Report
Safety Sweep is an ironic name for a company that has a driver who almost ran both myself and my 6 month old child in cobble hill off of the road, tailgating me and putting both of our lives in danger last week in a residential area. You then drove on the trans Canada tailgating everyone else going about 100 kms/hr, weaving in and out of traffic with no regard for anyone else or their safety. You need to be re-trained on how to drive. You could have killed someone. You might want to rethink your business name.
