Why does the mayor of a pissant little dorp like Sasolburg have a blue light for - he doesn't need a blue light, he needs a blerrie alarm clock.

I'm chief Minister of Home Affairs and double as Minister of Finance in my house so I want a driver, a waBenzi and a blue light too. Why bother with juggling time schedules when you can just vooma through every time you over sleep?

Stupid as it is, I once did 230 on the M1 at around 2 am (road was clear), top speed my car can do and this GTi kicked my a$$ bigtime. Found out later that the dudes in the GTi were cops. We were dicing with death I agree. I started driving at a tender age and has been competing for a longtime with my siblings with cars with the minimum safety features and I did some advanced driving course and I wonder if this guy has done one and what really keep a Mayor of Sasolburg busy to be late for any appointment.
