I am very sad. A very close friend's daughter was killed in a car  
accident this morning at Kellyville.
When the f#%ck will the RTA realise that driver education saves lives?  
And #%^|king speed cameras just raise money????
How much did the RTA spend on buying speed cameras last year? How much  
did they spend on young children driving courses?
F&:$& you RTA. The blood is on your hands.
Allegedly killed by an unlicensed driver, in an unregistered car. YeH.  
Alledgedly . Where did the RTA train this clown? Without a  
licence????? Unregistered car??????
Allegedly. How did that happen?
Tell me how you RTA clowns.
