C**k grabing callwood would see them doing sh** but drive pass....
You should have said, most of these motorcycle and scooter riders are irresponsible people, instead.
Get well soon, hopefully, young one.
Young one, I do hope that from this experience, whether or not it is the Taxi driver or his, that knowledge of traffic Manuevering in traffic will greatly increase, better yet, keep off those things.
Sad to say, but true, the local political VIP Administration, and some parents are partly to blame, others too.
I hope the government have road test for them just like they do for the vehicles.
Maybe not. That's why those youths are not familiar with traffic rules, and will always get in an accident. Some of them over take you without blowing their horns, some of them also overtake you on the illegal side and they also quickly cut you off at times if you are in front of them and you are about to make a turn.
They need to have a written and a road test to become very familiar with a number of traffic laws.
park where them want
and stop anywhere them man.
so good luck to both of them i guess
king over the cross walk by Vanderpool the traffic hafmd stopped for me to cross and the youth was on his phone , I don't think he had seen me I had to run out the way as he continued up to the roundabout still on his phone like he didn't almost run me down and kept going
