Yank away his DL for forty years
these taxi drivers need to go through a semi-annual “patience examination” by a psych’ to see if they can be trusted with driving a taxi.
it would weed out maybe 65% of them
i think commercial airline pilots have a similar psych exam
Also, a girl in my daughter’s class who lives in Cheftziba (another neighborhood in Bet Shemesh) was hit by a car or bus this morning. Please daven for Sarah Bat Shulamit.
Correction on the name of my daughter’s friend: Sarah Bat Vardit. She was struck by a boss motzai Shabbat in Cheftziba.
Pretty sure it was a toyota sienna involved in the cheftziba incident.
Perhaps it was a boss driving a sienna…
