  1. People who do not have Driver Licenses shouldn’t be driving.!! By your warning these Law Breakers your are condoning them to avoid getting for breaking the Law!! Shame on the OCR. Wonder if the Mayor & City Council approve of ths Columns warning. Anything goes in SA? Geeze..

  2. It’s still breaking the existing law.. seriously do you think it’s all right then to drive if they do not have a Licenenes or Insurance then? Without one it’s illegal.. Bottom line.. If they hit my car and injures a Family member.. Then what? Your for that too?

    1. Not allowing these people to drive makes it less safe on our roads. The solution is not to criminalize their driving. The solution is to let them drive.

      Until you have to walk in their shoes, you really aren’t in a position to judge them.

      As for laws, do you always obey the speed limit? I doubt it. So guess what? Each time you don’t you are breaking the law.

      Let him who is without sin cast the first stone…

  3. I’m not judging them by saying they must follow our laws. Tell you what.. I was in Mexico driving following the law and guess what? I was pulled over and was told I’d been over the speed limit. Cost me $70 right there & then.. Funny thing Admin I had Mexican Car Insurance. They don’t here. If need preaching about casting a stone Brother I will go to church. Those are Gods Laws.. These are California Laws. There’s a difference. I was once very poor here .. But I never broke a law that I felt didn’t apply to me. Speeding and running a Stop sign are my consequences that I’ll pay when I get caught.. So should they.. That’s my point .. Enjoy the Hoildays..
