Have you had an accident?

I dont know if you know this but in Lima, Peru.  Bus drivers to save on time fill up there buses while on there route’s.

I never knew this until now to be honest.

But help is at hand, the government have decide that this sort of outrageous behavior will be stopped. The ministry of transportation have announced that from July 2009. Any buses drivers found to be filling there bus up with passengers on it will be fined 852 Soles.

852 Soles  equates to around about £188. I have done a little checking and the min wage is 500 Soles. Thus this means that the fine will be about a month and half’s wage.

The Police have been authorised to do this from July 2009. The Police also can issue the same fines for a bus not having the correct amount of bumpers fitted.

….So if Peru Holidays seems like the adventure you want to take be wary of the dangerous bus drivers.

It stands 66 feet tall with a wingspan of 178 feet. This rustic angel is aimed at being an embrace on the north of the country. The Only things it embraces now is car accidents.

There has been a apparent increase in the accidents near where the Angel of the North is situated. Latest reports suggest that the Angel of the North see the most accidents in the country. More people crash there cars there than do at any other piece of artwork.

Why??

Because one half of people in the North East think that this is a superb display of art and marvel at it every time they pass. Thus they slow down and glare at the Angel and not at the road. IDIOTS!!!!

The other half of people inlcuding myself think that it is positioned in the worst place in the world. We have no time for it so we dont glar at it and we get on with our own driving. Only by a stroke of luck I missed being drove into by a ‘Angel Glarrer’ once.

Why dont they stick stuff like that in a field miles away from main roads. This is Gateshead Council for you…..
