"Volt's messengers have a significant part in corrupting the driving culture in the city. This must stop, Huldai said, adding that he considers the Volt company solely responsible for the activities of its messengers. "It doesn't matter if the messengers are company employees or freelancers.

The only thing that is of interest is the safety of the city's residents."
