I live about 2 km from the hospital. I heard rockets for a funeral close by and this morning heard the loudspeaker.

Let's face it , that is just a bog standard announcement the lazy sods make every time .

Instead of actually been out there and doing something about it.

I and no doubt many others have seen motor bikes and pick ups/cars travelling against the traffic and police on motor bikes just passing on by.

We are dealing with the most incompetent and indifferent officials to be found panywhere in the world. They just don't care. They're not interested in doing anything, they won't get the highway patrol to pull anyone over nor the police. And nothing is ever going to change. Unless the authorities start taking this seriously.

Riding against the flow of traffic is always chancy... they lost this time.
