No idea... the ambos didn't pay much I gather. Phone calls leading to towing of cars used to pay $20 when I started, when it stopped it was worth $50. G-S

He saw you, you didn't see him. He swerved and avoided you (while on the roadway) yet you maintain HE was in the wrong!! It's A U S . C A R S Kev. It's just over there <--. -- Elsie.

C A R S Kev. It's just over there <--. I was not crossing the road illegally. And to be quite honest I reckon he was traveling above the 50km/h speed limit in the CBD but I have no way of proving that. And I don't know why I keep biting at your trolls, I must be bored or something . . . Kev |
