  1. Curfew trivia

    Insurance chap told me even the insurance companies are shocked to see how much doctors crash their cars, despite there being no traffic, curfew and no rush. Mostly on curbs and stationary objects. Array of claims

     

    So a known car dealer tells me. Hes got the most number of calls the last month, asking for large suvs for sale or rent. Reason they have a built in curfew pass status. A businessman was begging him to exchange a E350e for 2011 150 Prado

     

    So many defenders broke down, Famous repair shops are full on queued with state ones and personal ones. reason overuse and misuse propagated their inherent unreliable nature.

    Even 300tdi engine kits are now at 500,000 lkr due to shortages.

     

     

    Fuel stations say, the curfew almost stopped the movement of super diesel, most pumps are barely touched a day. 

     

     

    Vendors say, The below single item that was sold in the craze, considering sheer numbers it was moved in. 

    YEAST.

    Not groceries. Not soap, not Masks, not hand sanitizer.

      'built in curfew pass' that sounds good actually. Apart from the SUVs, I have also seen at police check points that Hiluxes, those grey colour L200 double cabs and light blue colour Suzuki sx4 sedans have this feature on. And myself travelling by a Vitz to work, get stopped at every damn checkpoint ?

      Oh yes, my vitz is a regular, sometimes they stop just to say hi, 

      I've seen queues of vitzs at checkpoints near peradeniya, 

      The grey Brownish L200 with the Grey arches aka sportero was almost exclusively ministry imported, hence the status
