RULES of the road for drivers of motor vehicles have to be followed to the tee unless we want headlines of more victims from accidents.

Not prejudging the recent ones but it would seem the drivers might have been texting or speaking on their cellphones plus speed and their tragic end became a reality.

Didn’t the Commissioner receive a lot of new motor cycles recently? Where are they? Surely we should have saturated patrols on all our busiest streets and the outlying ones where speeding occurs regularly?

You rarely see a RBPF Traffic motorcycle unless it is upfront of a VIP rushing because they are late to a meeting or appointment!

Speeding on Airport Road - you ever see a traffic cop? West Bay Street the same, except there once a month as regular as Wednesday comes before Thursday the full Police complements are in the road checking license and ting whilst the rest of the month vehicles speed - drivers text - eat food, etc, etc.

Doesn’t the Road Traffic Act state that a driver must have both hands on the steering wheel at all times?

I agree with the Commissioner the rate we are going this year we will have an exceptionally high total of traffic fatalities…drivers this island is 21 by seven…take ya time and get home safe!
