          I will think that both of them were speeding
          a vehicle coming out of a corner should not speed if he was slow all that damage would not have happen to the bike man.

      @ Ja rules. Why would the new government do anything? They want us to kill ourselves, making their job easier to get rid of us.

        Don’t lame the government. If you and other riders choose to ride like idiots, fully knowing the risk, why should the government step in (again)?

      So if a lot of car accidents started happening they should band cars to all they have to do is get more strict on the bikes just like they did with the seat belt law and put rules in play for the bikes

        Don't judge by the photo. The riders zoom pass before you can blink. They all out to put people in trouble. Hope the dude get better. They riding in slipons, no helmet and the bottom line is them just don't care for them own life. The driver 4 black vehicle run. Wonder why. Hope it have cameras on the streets to solve some of these things

      they don't care that tis a school. In class this morning and 2 scooters up and down the road between high school and dareo corner. As they go up, the come down, popper wheelie. If any ah dem had a child in school trying to learn something they wouldn't be disturbing. Police need to be in that area after 1st and 2nd school shifts because thats when the riders does have their show impressing the girl dem

    I dont think the bikes are the problems here the riders are for eg the asians who ride they do so with care no recklessness. These riders broke the pockets of NHI, when they ride like this and pieces of their body missing then they wont have the girls staying with them they sure going leave for someone who is full.

    Get with t. That is not a scooter. It is an illeagal size motorcycle. Even if you cannot arrest the illegal bikes and their riders/owners, at least call a spade a spade, call a scooter a scooter and a motorcycle a motorcycle (or at least a "bike"). A scooter you ride seated with feet flat on floor. Bikes are ridden astride.

    It’s not the bikes, it’s the riders. Enforce traffic laws. Alcohol isn’t banned, but you get a stiff penalty for drunk driving, worst traffic f it causes and accident or death.
    Banning the bikes hurts responsible riders.

    Politicians I'm gonna say it here again and ask the question. Are you all satisfied with the amount of young people blood running on our streets. Forget about votes forget about who it hurts when you make the correct decision to take these bikes off the streets. Yes we have some very respectful and responsible bike riders but they are minority in number compared to the amount of lives lost and the injured. It don't take rocket science to do the unconventional thing in seeking to save our young people.
    Take your bashing for doing the right thing.

    Yes some people have businesses with scooter rentals find a way to compensate them put a hault on this type of trade licences and find a way to encourage new types of businesses where they can still generate income to sustain them selves and their family. Government can find money for everything else but we are failing our youths hence there is so much rebellion and disregard for law and order in the territory. It's time to call a spade a spade and help to preserve our young people by what ever means necessary. Some will be vex others will be pleased. You are not here to please all and if that's the way you all feel it's best the UK take control who vex vex.
