Hopefully he is Ok. I sometimes ride my pedal bike on the roads and I can tell you that there are some who drive their car and bikes as if they own the roads. Almost every time I go out there is at one driver of a car or bike that seems to want to see how close they can get while overtaking me. It’s the wild wild west on Bermuda roads but when you barely have any traffic monitoring by the police, what else would you expect?
“but when you barely have any traffic monitoring by the police, what else would you expect”
Exactly. I have been saying that for years.
But we have an extensive CCTV network! Even new cameras and new software!
What we really need are doughnut shops in high accident areas. BPS headcount needs to be reduced and what remains needs to be better managed. For starters, too many management heads who do little to improve policing and personnel efficiency. Chop away!
