  1. Since we have so many ignorant drivers in Palmdale put their names up and immigration status I’ll bet you most
    Were illegal

    Just saying that’s my thought since he broke the law by coming here illegally to Sanctuary City more hit and runs with these people

    • I have to disagree with your bet that most will be illegal.
      First hand experience, as a passenger, I have ridden with 4 people that knowingly ran stop signs, stop lights, or passed illegally. Every one of them born here. Evert one had an argument as to why they could get away with it.
      We need to bring drivers ed back to schools.

      • Well I disagree and this money should be spent to give the CHP on the 14 freeway Northbound and southbound to give these gravel truck drivers tickets and impound their vehicles trucks are 55 miles an hour not 80 and 85 miles an hour

    • You’re a ignorant ra cist, your comment is meaningless. I bet you’re a (christian) . Hypocrite!
