Another car bites the dust, good. They never learn, a tram will always
win when it comes to accidents. After having quite a few accidents
between my tram and various cars, taxis, and light trucks over the years
I would say that despite the fact that trams have been in Melbourne for
100 years? people still never learn to do the right thing.
