Another driver successfully passed the SL driving test offered by the police! What a waste of innocent lives. Somebody might ask what the relevance to this of the next what I write. But, this is why I deride the five star democracy and human rights. They are very good But, to afford those need to have a strong economy and a lot of money. In country a policeman struggle to survive, anybody can get a driving license or anything else for money, that is the truth.
None of the NGO human right goons or honorable ambassadors neigh about the human right of innocent people being able to use the public roads and going back home alive or without being maimed, though they cry non-stop about the right of thugs and drug addicts to march, disrupt and cause mayhem!
