To the person who was driving the car in front of me on Tuesday night at 11 p.m. on the Southern Shore Highway that threw out a pizza box, coffee cups and french fry box, you should be ashamed of yourself. You turned in at the Graveyard Road, Bay Bulls. You were obviously going home, why not bring your garbage with you. It would take all of 2 minutes to gather it up and put it in the garbage. I was tempted to follow you but I was a female driving alone. Have you no pride in your Province.
