CVT's new taxi service?
By R16RACA, published November 19
Recently, Viper[AUS] was running a private taxi service. SANA interviewed him about his new concept.
SAN: Why did you start a taxi service? Viper[AUS]: Because I need the money and I'm to lazy to do work.
SAN: And this is better?
Viper[AUS]: Yes.
SAN: So far, what has been the reaction?
Viper[AUS]: I got my first job.
SAN: Do you plan to continue the service?
Viper[AUS]: Maybe.
So its up to you, the server users, to decide if he continues the service or not. If you want him to, support it, take a taxi.

Major accident at Tierra Robada
by Migs, published December 2
SAN once ran a story about the roadworks at Tierra Robada which was known at the time as the most dangerous area in whole of San Andreas (and while we were interviewing people, crashes did happen).
Recently, another crash happened. But, unlike other reports, this caused a massive disruption of traffic in the area.
According to the San Andreas Highways Office, several vehicles had a crash in the middle section of the bridge and traffic began to pile up. The situation worsened when some of the vehicles crossed into the other side of the road, causing further traffic.
This lasted for about an hour and it caused $500,000 of damages. SAN again reminds the commuters to follow the speed limit in the area.

iFrost's Cross Country race
by Aximilator[UK], published December 2
iFrost organised a cross country race today, starting in San Fierro and ending in East Beach, Los Santos. The participants were Fabulous_Cabbage, Geckco, Random_Hero, sOiLwoRk and burgerking101. Sveki and Supralisma were stewards, with Supralisma checking that all racers took the jump and Sveki making sure they took the right route into Los Santos. Both did their job efficiently, and were great stewards.
The racers lined up at San Fierro, on the bridge to Bayside, and waited for iFrost's signal. Then, it was go! Nitrous flared and engines roared as all 5 racers drove in excess of 250kph past Bayside and into Tierra Robada. Geckco took an early lead, but soon spun out on a treacherous mountain corner! Fabulous_Cabbage went on to pass Geckco and flew into 2nd place. We then approached the jump, and revved up our engine to make the colossal jump over the river and onto the other side. Supralisma could be seen at the top moderating the racers.
We moved on to the final stage of the race, near Palominio and Los Santos. Fabulous_Cabbage was speeding ahead of the three other racers but stayed second place, behind burgerking101 who had taken the lead from the near beginning. We passed Sveki, who was moderating the racers, making sure they approcached Los Santos in the correct direction.
We neared the finish line, only to find we had come 2nd place, with burgerking101 first and Geckco third.
Congratulations to all racers, Thank you to iFrost for a great event, and thanks to Sveki & Supralisma for being stewards.

The bridge in which the crash happened is known to have a high accident rate which is caused by the size of the road being insufficient to handle any accidents.
