Smaller trucks. Japan makes due with one-lane alleys. (Not one in each direction. One. Deliveries and vehicular traffic are so uncommon, and the tightness of the space so inconducive to speeding, that it's safe for trucks and cars to go down them in whichever direction they need to.)

Makes do not due. A common error that seems to be increasing.

Probably meant "make do", as in, able to manage with limited means available.

What you said exactly is "makes", not "make".

It is the do that is wrong not the makes. He makes do. He made do. He can make do. All correct. Makes do is not.
