    I'm guessing speed played a part of the accident and I don't see the need to be speeding in that area with a speed bump ahead. I don't like driving to and from east end because most drivers DO NOT hold their side of the road and lets not get into the belle vue road, it's like some drivers don't give AF. And don't blame the condition of the road cause if you slow down for the rough patches, then you will have no problem keeping on your side.

      I was behind the idiot who drove clear into the oncoming taximan. He wasn't going fast, rather slow, just driving stupid.
      He wasn't trying to pass, there is no pothole there to go around, just plain stupidity.

    The colonial masters busy shaking up their bottle while the people are fast asleep to their wickedness as they have us busy fighting each other and blaming each other while giving them a free pass. We will soon understand.

      The National Crisis is everyone driving with phone in hand; not focused on driving OR the road.

    This is a disgrace to see them want to just throw away a quart of a million dollars on this none stop concert and look at the state of the roads. We look like a 3rd world country. The place in shambles, I'm sorry but this is my last time voting for any politician here in the BVI. I just would keep my mouth close and accept our downward spiral as a country. It's sickening!!!
