Wow, that’s what 35Kmph can do? We need to reduce our speed limit then….
I know it’s keep left, but not that far left…Either way, I hope the two children are physically OK & not too shaken up by this traumatic experience.
they probably ended up in that position trying to avoid a bike either overtaking them or coming right at them
Look at the position marks the police put on the road. If it was the case of a bike being at fault the bike would have been hit as the car slid. They were speeding like a nascar driver to close to the turn & clipped the wall. Theres no way in the laws of physics you can rip a wheel away from a frame like that doing 35kmph. Its a blessing that no one was seriously hurt.
Actually it is very easy to rip a wheel off a car. Cars today are made to give or break to reduces the forces on the occupants of the car.
That’s why even little fender benders can cost a lot to fix
It’s apparent that you are being sarcastic we both know there’s no way that the car & wall would be damaged like that if the driver was doing anywhere close to 35kmph.
Drivers & riders need to stop speeding on our roads especially around corners as they are endangering the lives of themselves & others. Speeding is just as bad or worse as people who go around doing shootings. Anyone who doubts this statement should bare in mind how a vehicle can be a dangerous weapon & when speeding this weapon can kill indiscriminately. People speeding need to stop being so selfish & think of others.
N.B. For those who want to nitpick to justify themselves when I mention speeding it doesn’t mean those who go slightly over the legal limit time to time. By speeding I mean those who go over 45 kmph on the regular which can be avoided & should be since we have nowhere on the island where this can be done safely. You people fly past me & I end up catching up to you doing at max 40 kmph because you can only go so far doing that speed in Bermuda.
Yes, I was being sarcastic.
No, that shows how cheap these cars are made out of today, they are made out of recycled metal and tin, dah!
Wall: 1, Car: 0. Always the same score.
man!..datz a cheepazz honda(tuna fish can)…loogat de wall juz a lool chip init…ol bermywalls are hard bie!
