I get overtaken by cars and trucks every day on my bike . Multiple times. And very often they’re on their cellphones to boot !

I drive at 25 to 30 mph and I am regularly overtaken by motorcycles and at least once a week by a car or a truck.

The average speed, where possible, these days is about 30mph. Interesting fact. St Helena, also a BOT just like us, drives on the left just like us, is way more hilly, mountainous even, has narrower roads than us, has many roads that are single lane with pull over points so that opposing traffic can get by, has a population much smaller than Bermuda but has a traffic problem in the one town yet has an islandwide speed limit of 30mph, 15-20mph in the town which is in a very narrow valley.

INCREASE the speed limit but really put the hammer down on dangerous driving, driving without due care, careless driving, distracted driving, whatever you want to call the sheer stupidity on the roads by a relative few. If that is the way they want to ride and drive make them pay and make them pay dearly.

The central parishes where I do my daily driving is actually quite safe, and has very little speeding occurring. Average traffic can be as low as 25kph to 35kph on main roads, up to the usual 45-50 kph. Gangsters,thieves on stolen bikes are primarily the ones flying around 60mph.

However it must be stated that a majority of the population and anyone sensible knows 35kph speed limit is ridiculous and not reasonable, and that speed was more fit for horse and buggy back when speed laws were introduced. In any other country, roads like ours have speed limits of 65-80kph. Bermuda needs to upgrade, and stop fining people huge portions of their paychecks for going 35mph.

Walking through a bike and car parking lot with observant eyes can be quite a shock .

Kindley Field international speedway is open every day ….just the other day an idiot thought there was 3 lanes and actually had to veer on to the grass to avoid a head on collusion and still continued on the grass for 2-3oo yards crazy and absolutely no respect for the rest of us ….

Although we do not condone dangerous driving . Come on !
We can give you many reason why the Bermuda driving public is some what frustrated .
Where are the white and yellow lines on the roads.
B.P.S. could catch more speeders using a 250 k. bike and Motorola
That speeding mania is a money maker ,with out that allot of people would be out of a job. we are guilty before we leave home
35K X 6.2 =21.7 M.P.H. with modern electric and standard vehicles that is virtually imposable .
To drive that slow except in the rain in a storm at night in first gear which can be done near an accident zone.
Only if we could prevent engine over heating . May be if to police and service vehicles could drive by example, we could then we could get about 16 months out of a new vehicle engine .
Now we come to Paget Traffic lights , and collectors hill and we faced have two roads in to one not a good solution at all.
the wanton waste regarding the thousand of hours and money lost in the thousands every day waiting.
if B.E.L.Co. goes offline we will have a disaster of major proportions on our hands. What to know why ?
No Accountability! .

Sadly, most never get to court to be fined because the police do not usually enforce traffic laws.

103KPH! For those who understand MPH better that is about 65MPH. Can’t imagine getting up to that speed anywhere except Kindley Field Rd. What are these fools thinking?

Police need to start impounding vehicles on the spot for excessive speed and dangerous driving. If indequate court fines don’t get the attention of these people maybe the loss of the vehicle plus towing fees, storage fees and an administration fee will.

“individuals would show such wanton disregard for the law”

Acting Superintendent Cardwell, the Bermuda Police service stopped enforcing traffic laws about 20 years ago. Yes, the Bermuda Police Service has sporadic moments of enforcement, but without consistent enforcement of traffic laws it is hardly surprising that “individuals would show such wanton disregard for the law”.

Its about time the police got back to radar trapping motorists. The lack of your presence have created this issue in part. True story.

Next time you’re stopped at lights look at bike insured stickers. Guaranteed more than half are expired it’s scary
