Role over Beethoven. Unfortunately, what is happening . Cars never turned over in bda. Then again, once we backed away from radar,this was all predicted. It’s like we need a deterent when really it is a new day and a new way to drive. Oh no. We must do better.
I love how some people always blame speed on everything as a convenient scapegoat that covers all things. No, there are many reasons why a car can overturn and to assume something bad about the driver without knowing anything is improper. It could be they tried to avoid a crazy driver, or they hit a curb, or turned their wheel to suddenly, or had a medical emergency.
By the way, speed has virtually nothing to do with accidents. Its bad drivers not paying attention in most cases. Our island has the most ridiculous and antiquated speed laws on the planet. 22mph was set for horse and buggy. Our speed limits should range from 25kph to 80kph depending on the roads. Get with the times.
