Mind yuh dam business ...
They're through traffic dodge n do n all kinda foolishness, even hold n up traffic line n up 2 race they scooters.
From the first lock down and all the Curfew laws put in place, they have been broken them. You complain to the Police Officers about the matter and nothing is being done.
I am passed sick and tired. Can’t sit in my house and watch TV in peace, can’t have a good night’s sleep because of the loud bikes blowing by all times of the night. Can someone please tell me what the %^&** to do.
I hope this young man will be ok .
Some on these kids are 14 years old and have no license, which is why there are so many accidents. Where are the parents? These bikes are out after curfew and causing noise pollution every day and night to an already stressed community. I think to ride a scooter you should have some kind of bike test, helmet and licensed bike. It’s not rocket scientist. Please Andrew fix this problem and start regulating and fining these wanna be punks that have got away with this nonsense for too long. You just need to see the tire marks in many road to see they are having a laugh and really don’t care! So over it!
It breaks my heart to see kids unbelted in the back sitting in between the two front drivers seats, this is the most dangerous place and they are likely to go through the windshield if brakes.
Being blocked in for an hour then being called a white mothers @&$? After complaining.
We need a head of traffic cop that will do the job, and not go around grabbing men’s private parts.
