What has happened to these people. They are still driving as if they are in a war zone. They don't understand the concept of civilian areas

Ariya S, Are you saying that falling asleep whilst driving is permitted in war zones? Please grow up, my friend!

The owner of the house should be charged for building it in the wrong place!
