    Stupids =Siri Lankans never learn. Their licence should be revoked for the life. Unfortunately, being a uncivilized country, bulls can never be civilized.

    THE PRESENT FINES SHOULD BE INCREASED BY FOUR TIMES. NEXT OFFENCE, ADD 50% PLUS. THAT WOULD BE A GOOD DETERRENT. MR. PRESIDENT, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. THANKS.

    At 12 last midnight, I want the authorities to review the camera surrounding the clock tower at Chatham St to see what was happening!

    The fine must be a million rupees or cancellation of driving licence for life, considering the gravity of the matter.
