for a vehicle to start operating it should have to be registered have insurance and valid motor license ...my question is how can an unlicensed vehecle carry passengers to make matters worse you may find that the driver does not have a valid driver's license and a difensive driver's license ZRP must answer that

how does the bus manage to pass road blocks and tollgates while unregistered. Other buses will be pulled over if unregistered actually won't be allowed on the roads while not registered. how come the zupco buses are running around while unregistered
