The area is logged by Wenita Forest Products, which runs trucks up and down the road regularly.
Michelle Darling said she took the road into Dunedin for work each morning and for eight years had dealt with near misses as trucks regularly travelled too fast and crossed the centre line.
Last week, she had another near-miss encounter with a truck and only survived because she "ploughed" her car into the gravel embankment on the side of the road, she said.
She estimated there was less than an inch between the two vehicles. When locals saw the trucks coming they edged over as far to the left as possible, but it still was not enough sometimes, she said.
"Somebody will be killed if they don’t drive to the conditions of the road."
A few different contractors operated in the area, but Dynes was one of the most common, she said.
The last time she was run off the road she pulled over and contacted Wenita straight away.
She then rang Dynes general manager forestry operations Owain Carter and told him she wanted the driver to apologise, as it was one of their drivers in that instance.
"I was told during that phone call the driver in question usually drives cranes, so he’s new to driving logging trucks.
"I don’t give a flying fat rat’s ass if he drives a rocking horse," she said.
It was not the first time she had contacted the companies.
"We know the roads and we slow down — the truck drivers don’t," Ms Darling said.
The truckers also drove so fast stones would get flung up and crack her windscreen.
She had five cracks in her windscreen, which was replaced less than six months ago.
Her husband had replaced three windscreens in the last 12 months.
"When I mentioned this to Wenita and Dynes they just shrug it off."
Debbie Boult, who runs Berwick Lodge, agreed a fatality would happen if nothing changed.
"It is only a matter of time."
Last week her husband had a close call where he had to take an evasive manoeuvre and ended up in the gravel.
Doing so caused the rear of the car to fishtail and he almost hit the truck head on.
She herself had had a few close calls over the past few months.
"It’s scary ... I’m really cautious," she said.
She was also concerned about visitors to the lodge who were not used to driving on rural roads.
The road was narrow, had thick gravel piles on either side and was "rough as guts".
Many had not driven on roads like that before and were cautious, but they also would not be prepared when a truck came around the corner in the middle of the road.
She had also complained to the trucking companies and was unsatisfied nothing had been done.
Almost all the logging trucks were great, but a few "just forget people live there".
Wenita Forest Products chief executive David Cormack said it was the first he had heard of the concerns.
While he felt he could not comment on complaints he was unaware of, Mr Cormack said "in general, we take this sort offeedback very seriously".
He would personally look into the issue and find out if any of the trucks Wenita had running had received any complaints.
He would be happy to speak to the residents about their concerns.
"Any vehicles used on those roads need to abide by the normal traffic rules."
Ms Darling said after she spoke to the Otago Daily Times, Wenita contacted her and advised her safety improvements would be made.
"That’s progress at least."
Mr Carter said he was "too busy" to comment on the issue.
