No driving licence and positive for meth, give him 10 years at least.

This is why I prefer to take the risk riding my own motorcycle on these roads
Taxi and Mini Van driver's are terrifying
Who hasn't thought their going to die when traveling in them.

^ I've made my peace with it. Now I just doze while strapped in on the offside rear of any vehicle.

If you have to use the bus take the big busses they are a bit slower but much safer in my opinion or even take the trains if possibleJerry Atrick wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 9:23 am ^ I've made my peace with it. Now I just doze while strapped in on the offside rear of any vehicle.
