That's not going to buff out.

Just another taxi and truck killing people.

I would blame the taxi first, they all ignore the rules of the road and drive like cnts

 

[wizardofid]

Investigate ? Why ? We already know whose fault it is. The taxi, over taking where it shouldn't be over taking. Drivers on the N1 are extremely impatient especially taxi's. Also that section of the N1 is notorious as well...

Families waiting for their loved ones ot return. Onstead, they receive tragic news.

Makes it sound as if, unless an investigation is called for by those earning million, nothing is done.

This government is amazing at bringing in laws but really rally shyte at enforcing them.

It's always the same. Reckless overtaking by the taxi expecting the truck will stop/slow down/make way for him.
They played chicken and both won. Congratulations.

Looks like the taxi crashed into the back of a stationary truck maybe?

No, the truck just reversed really really fast.

 

[Wrath of Khan MD]

so is the word "taxi" banned now? are the editors going full woke and now we call it, "a white Toyota quantum"

I'll let you decide on their poofta wokeness. Ban all these effing cars, actually to be fair just pull them over and clamp them for 1 day, like a long ass Formula 1 pitstop. Punish their pocked and they will learn

Well less cnt in the road yippee.

They make driving to work hell every day.

Clean the shoe with some Shoelada.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

I call dips on the shoe.

It is dibs. Dips are what you do at dip station.

You can have it along with 10 dead bodies - yours to keep.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

taxi p0es doing what ALL taxi P0Es does, drive like savage and reckless animals endangering not only themselves but 20 people in the taxi,

but you know, people take taxis because if they gave them all scooters or cars, the taxi p0es will come beat them up to FORCE them to use their deathtrap and die together, and pay for the privilege.

Well less cnt in the road yippee.

You do realise 9 other people died in that accident, don't you?

Ten people die and you're busy setting us up for punchlines about using their bodies to make dip.

 

[Quicks]

You do realise 9 other people died in that accident, don't you?

Those 9 people probably should have told the driver to slow down, they would rather want to arrive alive then get to their destination 5min earlier.

Probably could have been worse if he drove into another Taxi, or a family in a car.
