Did the brakes fail again?

Obviously, surely not the drivers fault!

And the bl**dy idiots of so-called drivers (Minibus, Taxi, Tuk-Tuk) did not queue for passing the location, but they passed on the oncoming lane with the obvious result, that nothing was moving when the situation was cleared.

Same old same old.................................

Once again I am sorry you are not allowed to bet on some events in this country. Otherwise I would have put a serious amount on the fact, that the genius of a driver did not manage to change to the correct gear for the hill, then he panicked and forgot to just hit the brakes to stop his (probably) not road-worthy disaster on wheels from rolling back on the incline.
