I am sure that the RSC could and should be doing more – - – but our “suggestions” are “give the money to the families,” and “disban the council” – really? How will that solve the underlined issue – safety on our roads?

As I read the article and understand it, this campaign wants us to focus on family and friends during the holiday season – being there to create memories (highlighting that we need to be there to share in those memories). I don’t understand why anyone would believe that the concept is crazy or wasteful. The Council is suppose to educate the community, aren’t they?

Some have complained about the council only doing things when there is a death or crap happening on the roads – - probably true – but isn’t this the time of year for those Christmas parties, with the wine/beer/liqour flowing? When better to put information out there to combat what we as Bermudians have gotten so used to doing during the holidays – killing each other on the roads!

For those of us who have lost someone to the roads of Bermuda, my heart and prayers go out to all of us (including myself). Every life is important and precious – that’s why I get what they are trying to do with this new campaign – - instead of showing the dead bodies and the accident scenes, they appear to be trying “something different” by highlighting the love and joy families/friends CAN HAVE IF PEOPLE DON’T DRIVE/RIDE DRUNK.

Can the Council do better? Hell, yes I think they can and they should.

Is the Council worthless? No – any information to assist is better that thinking that there isn’t a problem and “I can drive drunk” or “I only live around the corner” which is exactly how some Bermudians think.

Before I forget, this is only my opinion – - people are allowed in this country to believe what they choose – - thus, I am not attacking anyone or any comments on this blog – - it is what it is.

When I ride on the road, I look out for myself first – -I refuse to be a statistic – - maybe if more of us actually paid attention to driving than that Blackberry or cell phone, or those bad-ass kids in the backseat, we would drive better in this country – - look in the mirror first – might be able to solve the problem before we even get on the bike – - think about that one for a second?!

Or how about the gore and guts campain that had bloody heads and people in nasty situations as a part of a campaign

(lol lol) let’s see what they come up with now.

Bring back Doctor Fran!

i have not heard much about this group in a positive sense since they create the Dejun Simmons (spelling project)

it needs a new edge.

drinkers

males 19-50

speeders and wreckless drivers

deal with them

get police on the road……….

simple

the Road Safety Council has past its usefulness.

it must change

what has the road safety council done all year, my cousin died this year, I have not heard anything that makes sense. I go on the RSC website the informaiton is old

and boring. I am tired of the BS get rid of the lot and give the money to families who have had loved ones die cos this stuff is waste of money.

They Road Safety Council, needs to be disbanned, as it is useless body of people who just give money to add companies, to create campains that no one pays any attention to.
