Dwee 5th Gear November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 Since there is so many incidents and life involved , can the government advised to abolished these type of large trees ? Is obviously doesn't look nice and some said is for the shade , I would rather have a peaceful mind while driving than the risk of a fallen tree..... Wonder how many more lives being taken off than they would take drastic measure to it . . . . Seems like GDP is much more important than anything else . . .
