  2. Everywhere you go people don’t have any patience to drive let alone to drive the speed limit bunch of idiots

    Jovana Tameka Nettles, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to mail fraud for taking cash bribes when she was a manager at the DMV’s Lincoln Park office. She admitted to taking part in a conspiracy of DMV employees who approved licenses for unqualified drivers who paid them off. She and her colleagues gave them fraudulent passing scores on both written and driving tests.

    • Corruption in a state office…who would ever have thought that possible…oh, yeah, everyone.

      What does this have to do with…well, whatever prompted you to post it?

      • I was promoted to post as it is proof there’s people driving that can’t pass the test. However in the case of this hit and run death I believe the reason the perp split the scene was probably more nefarious.

        • That needed to be proven? I assume there are people who find a way to cheat on the test. It is unlikely that the person you pointed out is the only DMV employee to ever take a bribe, and there is unquestionably some “who you know” at play there as well besides the outright bribery, in which DMV employees “help out” a friend or neighbor.

          None of this has any bearing on the right wing crackpots with their commentary about putting people through the licensing process who may not be citizens.

  4. Well it’s Jerry Brown problem he gave all these immigrants driver’s license is that shouldn’t have a driver’s license

    • Sure man, because before they had licenses none of them were driving. Quite the fantasy you live in.

      • My friend hit a jaywalker in DTLA and stopped. I joke with him to this day about being the only person that ever stopped. The jaywalker was hurt but has recovered.

        • This was my friend that got hit he was a good person so stop making jokes he just loved the wrong girl and from what I hear he ment to hit him
