Is it just me or is it that part of the valley that is the most dangerous drivers ever? I see so many cars driving without plates and trust me they’re not new cars they’re driving dirty and I’m sure there’s no license registration or even documentation out there. Drive your risk on that side of town and, so sad to see so many people die.
