evidently you do not understand the statement with regards to freedom of movement

stopping anyone without a valid reason is illegal

if we allow this, whats next, stopping me walking along front street and ask for identification for no reason, be careful of what rights you give away to any act which goes agaainst our constitiution, which by the way states that no law can be made to override anything contained within it.

We are guaranteed freedom of movement

We have a right to freedom of movement

The police must have reasonable cause to stop a citizen

It all there written plainly in the constitiunal order.

You could lobby event organisers to try to hire bus services after their event concludes, but frankly it’s not the organizer’s responsibility to transport people to or from their event.

As I Call BS points out, rural roads in Canada tend not to be as bendy or be bounded by walls the way that roads are here. Not as much recourse for pedestrians on foot or bicycle to avoid the maniacs.

I’m not sure where on the island your suggested 80kph limit should be applied, that’s probably overkill even on Kindley Field Road.

BOOZE IS POISON, I stopped drinking unlike everyone else. Drunk drivers are on our roads every day all day long. Stop blaming everything on THE SCAPEGOATS!!!!!!

The real devil here is ALCOHOL which I know personally makes you incapable of safe driving. Smoking NEVER impairs your driving so don’t give me that trash talk propoganda.

I used to do it all, and I know that drunk driving is DEADLY, I almost died a few times thank God I am here today. Booze almost killed me once from poisoning and a stroke which left me unable to stand or speak for days. LEGAL BOOZE did that.

Stop blaming speed, because our speed limit should be VARIED island wide, with some places at 25kph and some places 80kph, like the rest of the CIVILIZED world.

Speed cameras are just a lazy way to take our money, make us poorer, and make us suffer more. Fix your damned stupid archaic speed limits and then we can talk sensible.

35kph was SET FOR HORSE AND CARRIAGE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
The stonehenge leaders have never bothered to adapt it to THE MODERN ERA, let alone modern decade.

Horse buggies could only reach 35kph and that is why the speed limit was set as that. Remember we did not have cars until about half a century later.

Giving people $300 fines for going a speed that Usain Bolt can run is absurd, and three tickets like that takes you off the road and impairs your whole life and job….for what?

Like I said, an easy way , lazy way, to rake in our money.
ANd what if someone stole or borrowed your vehicle? do YOU the owner get charged with his offense? How is the government and police going to regulate this? More laws? ABSURD!!!!!!!

Raise the speed limit and lower it where APPROPRIATE. Then put in cameras if you want. I mean, dear GOD, how BEHIND can our island be? Why do intelligent responsible people have to constantly suffer the IGNORANCE of others?

In Canada, rural roads where houses and children line the narrow lanes which are one lane wide, have posted limits on average of 80kph. This is a lane where children play alongside and which is no wider than 10feet! 80kph! Same in Europe.

In Bermuda, you are forced to go a snail’s pace and whipped for going 3mph over!

But then again, this societyis designed to make the poor poorer, and to let the rich have an easy-go-lucky and get out of jail cheap card, eh?

Wake up and smell the roses!

Bermudians need to read the Bermuda Constitutional Order

It is against my constitutional rights as a citizen to be stopped by a Police Officer for no reason.

Random road blocks are illegal under the constitution.

Under the constitution I have a right to freedom of movement unless i have committed an offence under the law.

The blame lies solely with the Driver of the Vehicle.

Keep Politics and Race out of this!

Get some class boy.

This is road deaths we are talking about, can’t some people leave politics out of death even?

Get some class girl.

Change the law, save lives, problem solved.

Any f89ming out there?

I need a rum.

Then as Hello! says, where is the public transportation when large events are staged in Dockyard? Organizers should not be allowed to stage these events unless they agree to provide transport when they are finished.

None of this is rocket science, but does need some management and common sense.

Prove it, Shawn, show you’re really concerned and a ‘committed road safety advocate’.

Good-for-little politicians, speaking gobbledygook. I am getting so weary. And the opposition is just more of the same gobbledygook, so don’t reply telling me to vote. For who? For what?

The government can’t stop idiots from being idiots.

But it can, and I hope it does, help to turn our culture against driving while under the influence of drink or drugs.

Min. Crockwell, how can you make a statement on this, yet ignore the Dockyard issue? Do you only talk when it makes you look favourable? I remember the interview on the Sherri J show where you threw former Premier Cannonier under the bus. You must speak to all the issues concerning your ministry, not just when it can’t be blamed on you.

Other countries resolved this decades ago with random checkpoints. Friday nights on East Broadway would be a good start.

Also, make it mandatory to attend classes before getting your licence back.

This of course requires Bermuda to get off its butt and make changes.

Ah well, I tried.

Now what about your other major issue, Dockyard? Surely not anotherweek for action! Words do nothing, pro-action is what is recquired.

You can put into place all the legislation you want .
Only a much increased police presence on the roads is going to make a difference .
Problem is, we just can’t deploy 80% of the PS to the streets .
