    aka speed bumps needed west between WE ferry dock to RT ferry dock. Every vehicle drives way to fast between these locations and passing on curves as well. More accidents, injuries and fatalities to come if speed and passing are not reduced.

      What an accurate name to call yourself. If you were awake you would have read that no cause was attributed to the accidents. But stay asleep and remain in your ignorance.

        Sleeping Policeman is another name for speeds bumps. That’s what the poster was talking about. Looks like you’re the ignorant one.

          Are you educating a former senior police officer as to what is a sleeping policeman. You seem to be so calm that you are drifting off to sleep. Other wise you would have understood the point of the text. But I am not going to tell you. Go wash your face in cold water and read again

      Is people like you who are asking for speedbumps all over the island and when the ambulance takes forever to respond, you are the same one complaining. People like you don't see it is unreasonable to have so many speedbumps erected which prevents emergency vehicles from responding in a timely manner.

      Look how many speed bumps all over the territory and we have more accident than the accident and emergency ward.

        True, and where are people going so fast on this small island? I see people speed past me, only to be slowed up in traffic ahead, and when I arrive, I am right behind them. They didn't save any time driving at that high rate of speed.

    Why people who are driving and especially those via bikes love to overtake on a curve or soon approaching a curve.


    That speed you going with, you ever think that maybe someone is coming from the other direction with the same speed.


    And clearly this seem to be the case. Someone had to be rushing to overtake and traffic coming from the other directions which force to one overtaking to hit two vehicles one time.

    Blue car caused the accident, she was speeding headed west. Took the corner so fast she hit the truck infront her, then smashed into the green car who was coming up. I want to know where she was going with all that speed with those children. That particular corner known for accidents & ppl still dont slow down around it. If ain the dirt you have to look out for is water when it rain or oil from up by the dump

    Number one there are too many accidents on that bend because territory’s roads are s*i*. Second, speed bumps are not necessary. Imagine an ambulance. We need policing and speed fines.

    No matter what you do, accidents are going to happen it is inevitable. Speedbumps or no speedbumps accidents can and will happen. It is solely the responsibility of the individual behind the wheel of any motor vehicle to drive safe not just for themselves but also for the safety of the motoring public. Although the government has the authority to put safety measures in place for the public, why are we as people doing things that cause the government to take these measures in the first place? Are we adults or a bunch of children? EXAMPLE- It's like sticking a fork in an outlet. Would you do it? No. But some people are reckless and do it anyways. So now you have to put protectors (Speedbumps) over the outlet to prevent them from doing it. It's simple, firstly fix these bad roads and drive safely.

    You need to tell us, if this was a case of some fool trying to overtake on a curve.
    The highways and byways of the BVI are populated with way too many individuals that thin they are more important than anyone else on the road. They need to be called out.

    When people drive so dangerously, they should go through a defensive driving course before they are allowed to drive again.
