vehicles like this should not be allowed on Bermuda roads!
Right, because this is the vehicles’ faults???
Vehicles like what? I’m a lil confused here. Either that or all this nice fresh oxygen blowing over Bermuda has me light headed and not understanding/following your train of thought. That is if brain was put into action before u put your mouth into motion(fingers into motion in this situation). Please explain……
Like what?
What!!??
Why not?
Unless those were self-driving cars (which they clearly are not), the problem was one or both drivers.
Vehicles should not be allowed?? You know something we all did not read in the article?? Did the vehicle caused the accident or was it the DRIVER! 95% of the time it’s the drivers inattention or Due care – cell phone while driving, drunk, overtaking, cannot be blamed on the CAR!!!
unreal. We should all just drive bumper cars like in the fair grounds!
It’s not the cars that’s the problem, it’s the drivers. Ah well, up goes our premiums again because of someone who can drive.
this is why you should leave a gap in front of your vehicle.
Following too closely behind leaves you nowhere to go
you have to be kidding… it’s the driver, not the vehicle, if fire trucks and big dump trucks can drive around no issue, why shouldn’t these be allowed?
This island is rammed full of crap drivers.
Looks like someone stopped short!
The jeep was obviously way too close otherwise much of that damage, if not all, could have been avoided.
Did the van’s 15 minute parking time as per the sign expire??
os if his time expired they get rammed off the road by smashing the car into pieces …lol
The first one hits brakes for whatever reason. The car is tailgating & not paying attention. BANG! The bike behind the car is also tailgating & not paying attention. BANG! This was no accident. It was a recipe for a crash. As predictable as the sun setting.
” Keep back200 ft.”
It’s stupid to tailgate.
Govt worker was probably picking up her healthy lunch from Granny’s Cafe.
Apparently the van was parked. Even less excuse for hitting it.
