    Thanks and praise God that he is alive. I hope he will soon heal completely in body and mind. I also hope that he will use his accident experience as a learning tool, and become more
    a responsible rider.

    Any chance this young man, and the last too many of them ending up on the road injured, has paid a single dollar into the system which will nurse home back to health?

    In Bermuda it's prohibited for locals and residents to ride scooters, only tourists can rent and ride scooters there. So with the next governor becoming there such a legislation can be impose here too. Watch out ppl.
