Ouch! That little nasty Lap Nai again.

I just noticed: there is no pointing during rain.

...judging by the look of the car, it's certain that the driver wasn't thinking about the speed limit.

From the link:

"He admitted that he fell asleep at the wheel, losing control of the minivan on a wet road".

He wasn't thinking of anything, just dreaming.

"I know a shortcut."

 

Also for lottery seekers:  happened on the 13th and the license has 13 on it too.  That can't be a coincidence.
