Exactly, your drivers license should be in your wallet or purse, and your proof of insurance should be in the glove compartment of the car.
What's so funny is in the USA you must have these things on you at all times, and the millions of people there comply. Why is it so difficult for a few thousand people to comply.
Fact is Bahamians like slackness...overtaking where they shouldn't, creating their own lanes and short cuts, not wearing seatbelts, pedestrians crossing the road all willy nilly, drivers not paying attention to pedestrians, stopping in the middle of highflow traffic, no use of signals, cars without brake or tail lights, driving using high beams...
And the list goes on... all this and more causes the traffic problems and accidents.
There is no way any one person should be allowed to accumulate more than 10 weeks of vacation in any year. They need to do like the private companies do, use it or lose it. You are not allowed to accrue a ridiculous amount of vacation.
Hopefully going forward they enforce a rule, only allowing at maximum 10 weeks of vacation on the books at any given time. And come the end of the year (Sept), either take the time or lose it.
I thought proof of immunizations were mandatory before attending school.
And if it isn't, maybe they should make it so. No child can attend school without proof of the required immunizations, as well as a clean bill of health from a KNOWN doctor.
That is a very discriminatory and downright inflammatory thing to say, based on ignorance and untruth.
You would be very shocked to know there is a growing trend of parents in America and other "first world" countries who are not vaccinating their children.
It has nothing to do with South Americans coming to countries illegally and everything to do with parents opting out of neccessary vaccines.
"During trial, Sir Michael found that Mr Pinder, while able to work, could no longer work as a mason as a result of the accident. Sir Michael further accepted the opinion of a doctor that employment as a fisherman was not an option open to Mr Pinder, and decided on the evidence from Mr Pinder’s camp that $400 a week was all he was likely to earn in the future due to his location on a Family Island, his physical condition and his lack of formal education. Mr Pinder only had a high school education."
and what exactly is Mr. Pinder now going to do with that kind money given his lack of formal education? /inquiring minds want to know how it shall be squandered.
Maybe if we had legal gun ranges where people could go, they wouldn't be driving around shooting out the passenger window. #ijs
We need to get it together, guns are a part of the world. Maybe if we had more regulations and proper documentation people would be less likely to own illegal firearms, we would have a better idea of those who are in possession of firearms- because they would be registered to someone.
