Ulic Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Confiscate the bikes and auction them off. Use the proceeds to fund the ambulance service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiots are still driving around and racing on their modified vehicles causing danger and creating a general nuisance for others in ever increasing numbers. Clearly this strategy what ever it may be is failing, but yet again nobody seems to learn from that. That's because they have knee-jerk operations every blue moon, but in-between give a rat's ass... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
