Taxis always tryna kill people! They need to learn to drive them big things or get a small SUV..
I am not surprised by this incident…As I walk on a daily basis, there are several motorist who have no regard to persons walking, or running…The police should set up a speed trap between Flatts an Shelly Bay every morning between 5 and 8 am.
1. The street lights should be maintained. Over the past few years they have been allowed to fail. Many areas are dark.
2. Walkers need to wear reflective and bright clothing. Many times I see walkers out at night, in dark roads, wearing dark clothing. That is not sensible.
Anyway, I hope this man is ok.
There should be a sidewalk on this stretch – it’s very dangerous.
If this gentelman had on black strip jacket and dark clothing before you all jump and blame the cab driver i myself almost hit this man as he was drunk or somthing because he was stagering in the road and i had to swerve on the opposite side to avoid hitting him so all you with your nagative comments think before you post as the driver of that taxi may have not been at fault and please tell me what does it have to do with the size of the taxi on many occasions i have had to swerve to avoid hitting peolple the lighting in that area is not always the best but as i said above i almost hit a gentelman in the same area last night about the same time so people please me mindful of your comments because that could have been me and i have a very small kia picconto
That is the longest sentence um evah seen..
How are you going to comment on someone’s bad grammar when in fact you cannot even spell I’m which should be I’ve or ever? (three words learned in primary school) Now that’s what I find funny! Hooked on phonics, what ever happened to those?
Let me know when your birthday is and I’ll send you a box of commas and some full stops.
@Joonya ad dingbat you two are funny
BahaHAAAA!
Ok so no commas and full stop, what does that have to do with the point thats trying to be made. Again some self Righteous a#$hole trying to be funny.
Smh Bermudians. Typical. Lets pray the man is okay. But I have to consign with @almosthitthesameman he looked drunk ans staggering. I saw the whole incident. It’s not the taxi drivers fault that could have been anyone and it could not have been avoided. Pray for the man and the driver. Stop the negativity
