So you may carry Yes no guests.” The woman immediately contacted the highway patrol. Within a few seconds a strip of that on-the-spot car and stopped the Bus. This has the driver but continued to drive. “Just before Christmas, you have to fire one more, but I ask from Flixbus, that the driver gets at least a warning.”
