      These females are on the back of these bikes with no helmets on (same for the driver), majority not even holding on to the driver or barely holding on, phone in their hand browsing, texting, talking.

      Think sensibly about your lives.

      Accidents can happen and you’re more prone to severe injuries with scooter accidents.

      See this as a lesson for all those who drive and are passengers on scooters.

      Most of them never do. They are always riding recklessly, zooming in and out of traffic and overtaking anywhere. As a driver, I get scared when I see them doing nonsense.

    enforcement is lacking because there is no longer adequate Highway Patrol in our country. some of the bikers weaving in and out of traffic along the Public Roads every day and no enforcement to prevent or deter them

    What are the Parents doing to help correct this situation or are we waiting to our children gets seriously injured(some of those guys riding like crazy when night comes goes Home to an Adult)

    Meanwhile this is happening.... these police officers are soo busy working hard issuing tickets for no seatbelt, they dont even bother to stop scooters for no helmets. great jobs guys!! I see them all the time stopping vehicles on the road and these Scooters just flying by no helmets at high speeds. Job Well done.

    How are we as a society; going to grow and improve , when simple systematic situations have not been assessed. this says allot about our capacity to deal with problems and improvement.

    I warn my daughter if I ever smell, hear or catch her riding on one of those scooters be it front or back I am going to drag her by her hair cave man style and stomp a mud hole in her backside. I had to put that FEAR in her because if something happens like what happen yesterday I am the one that have to take on unnecessary problems that I don’t need.

      I am with you 100% on your comment as a parent. You have to instill fear in your children sometimes to keep them safe and for them to do what is right. My focus is to work, pay my bills and keeping my home in order and not take on like you stated unnecessary problems.

    I was at a traffic light at the Moorings, the light was on red and there was a police car behind me, a scooter came flying past us weaving recklessly in and out of traffic and right through the red light. I thought great the police will stop and fine or arrest the guy for dangerous driving. The police did NOTHING. THIS THE PROBLEM.

    As harsh as it sounds, who don't hear will feel. How many times we beg scooter riders to wear helmets. We hold summits, we warn them about the dangers YET they still feel larger than life. The sad part is some STILL won't take heed and continue riding recklessly.

      Did you see the video of the lady describing the accident where she said she saw them scooters driving fast into a turn...... that don't sound reckless? Until we see video of witnesses or police statement on details of the incident then I will go by what we've been seeing on a regular most riders driving reckless and fast with no helmets. Chk them videos not on helmet in sight. But any way good luck to them

      hope them pull thru and learn them lesson (doubt)

      You'll see the go fund me popping up from the family he knew them kids does be on scooter driving like maniacs with no helmets with woman and young girl


      Anyone wanna bet if the bikes were licensed and insured? Does the young driver have a licence for it?

      If no then I doubt them were driving responsibly if they were willing to skip all those steps smh

      But I pray them health but y'all gotta do better fr

      You don’t have to drive recklessly as in speeding to be severely injured in an accident.

      Not having helmets on is driving recklessly.

      Same with a vehicle…not wearing a seatbelt is driving recklessly.

      You’re putting your life in danger.

    Some of those same scooter riders gather certain areas of the island and engage in racing. They usually do it on weekends in areas where there is a stretch of road, and less police presence. Ask any them if they were racing? Either ban them or put an age or usage constraint on them for these youths. Idleness is the devil's work.
