Yet another person too stupid to live. If you can't see or hear a train.... But it's Me First, isn't it. Too busy to wait for a minute or two until the train passes.

Years of observing locals riding scooters... most likely she did not even know the train was coming.

I'm convinced that a majority of road accidents here are a direct result of the 'Me First' movement.

There are so many members cutting across all lines of society they should form the MFP and take the PM seat.
