Very sad this young lady died, but let's be real- speed was a factor. She hit the barrier head- on with no evidence of having braked. Which means she was distracted and didn't see it. Cause even had she seen it at the last minute she would have swerved or braked. A full mile of straight road and with her headlights she should have seen the barricade before she got to it.
This accident was a result of negligence on both parties. The government for not assuring adequate signage of the road closure, and the young lady who it seems was speeding and unaware the road was blocked.
It's very sad and tragic that this young mother lost her life over something so preventable. I truly hope this is a lesson for other drivers. Speed kills and paying attention to the road is key.
I hate the arse backwardness of this country. Can't we get anything right...
*Sex offenders registry *Stiffer penalties for hit and runs that result in death *Death penalty for murderers *Penalties and incarceration for animal cruelty *Stricter immigration laws
Just a few of the things that I find The Bahamas needs to deal with.
Again I ask the question, why is The Bahamas so lax? What is needed is a registry for sex offenders as well as continuous monitoring of pedophiles.
There needs to be a school bus system that picks and drops of students whose parents are unable to collect them from school. And an increase in safe after school activities for children whose parents work past 3pm.
We are supposedly so concerned about the "little darlings" yet we have very few measures in place to protect them. Smh
But hey, ya'll got your red and yellow tshirts and free drinks at all the rallies. But never once do people ask the MP's what the plan is to help the community and the country overall.
Why are we so lax here in The Bahamas? When will we get a registry for sex offenders and actually keep track of these pedophiles and where they are? There is no way a sexual predator should be allowed to free roam and no one be aware of who they are.
Furthermore, a representative is elected to Parliament for such things as clearing debris from abandoned buildings and ensuring the community doesn't have places such as these to aid in covering these heinous crimes.
Start holding the government accountable, some things in this day and age should be standard. After the Marco Archer case one would think we would be more proactive with this type stuff.
Thankfully these girls were not also found murdered. Still they will require a tender touch, counseling, and consistent help to heal from this tragic event in their young lives.
How about jobs actually give employees insurance that include death benefits. Let each employee pay monthly into the insurance plan and upon death the benefit is paid directly to the funeral home and the balance given to a beneficiary.
They do it in the USA, why not in backward land Bahamas.
Chucky a few insurance companies offer the add-on to protect from uninsured motorists. I got it because I know more than 60 percent of the people on the road are either uninsured, unlicensed, or both. You've got to protect your investment.
And the system needs to be updated. The fines and penalties for infractions increased and upheld when given out. And the law needs to be properly enforced by the people being paid to do so.
They need a computer based system that keeps up to date info on plates and licenses. So if a police officer runs a plate they can tell if the car is properly licensed and insured. They can also tell if the car has been reported stolen or has any outstanding traffic violations by merely inputting the plate number into the system.
The same system can also be used for drivers licenses. Once your name and date of birth is ran an officer can tell if you are legally allowed to be on the road. A combination of both checks if used correctly would eliminate a lot of persons and cars being on the road illegally.
Honestly I sometimes think the Bahamas likes illegal and dishonest activity. Cause it's 2018, why aren't half these things implemented already.
And sidenote, people like you who don't believe in honouring those that serve are usually the ones who haven't serve.
It's been my experience that folks like you are bitter, jealous, and lack motivation and capability so therefore you feel the need to bash those that do, because you are one of those that don't.
Furthermore, you try to pull everyone down to your low level because you have a complex of being inferior.
....get a life TalRussel because The Bahamas will continue to honour those that bring honour to our country.
