The PLP supporters are out in full force with this one, aren’t they? If Michael Dunkley hadn’t blown the whistle on this latest Government mismanagement quite a number of their supporters would have found themselves having to pay some (very expensive) dental bills. Put simply – the premium was not paid, the coverage was put on hold, Michael D hears about it, quite rightly passes on this information so that we, the taxpayers, can know what is going on, and quite by chance suddenly the bill is paid …….
It used to be a time in Bermuda when it was just young people getting involved in collisions or accidents resulting in death from bikes! It seems like now that stereotype is gone ! I read about all different ages of people dying or getting into horrific bike accidents and its not cool. Please take your time people! I once read a bumper sticker that said ” UNDERTAKERS LOVE OVERTAKERS” and its true ! So please people if you don’t want to see Augustus, C.W. Pearman, Bully Graham or any other funeral home “Take YA TIME!” They will LOVE to have your business!
Over worked and under paid in this situation.. The man was tired. Get your info right sweetie!!!!!!!!! geesh.. He a great friend of mine!!
Prayers for this man recovery from this accident.
Also note that it may not even be the person overtaking that gets injured. That person may cause someone else to swerve and injure themselves.
My brother died due to someone elses dangerous riding. So please everyone be safe and take your time.
This is very true…but on a daily basis I see alot of people on the road overtaking and I swear they think they are invinsible! They just dip in and out heading straight for oncoming traffic. It’s really crazy. Come on Bermuda we are losing too many lives!
Pray that this man has a speady recovery.
Bless
Everyone just needs to slow he heck down! we were doing so well with no road fatalities and then all this madness! I drive from somerset to hamilton everyday and i see idiots speeding, dipping in and out, overtaking in crazy places and so on!!! it needs to stop and they need to be cautious and slow their speed!!! Its affecting everyone and it is not a good feeling!!
Everyone needs to be wise and responsible of their own actions and unless they do this will continue! i pray that people get better and wise up!
