- 51 Year Old Man Remains In ICU After Collision | Bernews.com | February 10, 2014
Wasn’t there a case in court last week about someone exiting Marley Beach and turning right when there is a sign advising not to do so? The same thing happened. Well, at least the driver of the truck knows what to expect from the courts.
I hope the motorcyclist makes a full recovery.
Isn’t that the same manoeuvre that caused a man to loose his license earlier this week? Did the man seriously injure a cyclist because he made an illegal right turn?
My thoughts to the injured man and his family.
I speak miraculous healing over this man in Jesus name! Riding along minding his business and this happens… Miraculous healing. To confuse even the medical staff in Jesus name. Amen.
Good luck with that.
Ride
Too many accidents too little time,
Bermuda has very dangerous driveway entrances,
people in 4,000lb cars and trucks love to pull out without looking properly
dear God I am almost killed every day at least once from this.
when I go slow like 35kph people think I am letting them out, or that they have the time to speed out of the entrance. People of ALL walks of life do this! In rain or dry roads! It scares the life out of me when I am on a bike. It is safer to do 50kph so that the person in the car can see you moving with velocity and then know not to pull out in front of you!
im not pointing blame at any one of the two drivers in this matter because I don’t know what happened.
simple solution:
BETTER MIRRORS FOR ENTRANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they’re slowly working on them (from the few I’ve seen)
