Drive safely, just a reminder

Anatta

Ok, so I had to check into the emergency ward at one of the private hospitals in town, to get 4 stitches on my face (Karate training, don't ask).

What I saw in there was mostly traffic accidents, nothing really serious but not nice to have nevertheless: broken toes, ribs, deep wounds,...

so here a reminder of you guys to drive safely.

Also, I had to take a battery of medicines and a shot as prevention against tetanus, so be aware my friends: if you bleed, it is wise to check with the doctors to see you need to do the same.

TP HCM has to maintain it's average of three deaths every day.

Whenever I visit a CGST office I always think the best deterrents are on their notice boards - pictures of 'road kill' except the dead and dismembered bodies were once human beings.
