A fun question would have been "Do you follow traffic laws" and watch the hesitancy in the response.

"What are those?" would have been the answer. Tough as it is, the transport community is a mafia and as such are generally negligent about public safety. Individuals may care, but the rest of the owners and many of the drivers are mostly thugs and idiots who just learnt how to move a steering and shift gears.
