      Y'all act like all scooter accidents are the riders fault. Just pray that everyone is safe and comes out unharmed and keep it pushing

        While not all scooter/bike riders ride irresponsibly, this guy tried to beat the vehicle that had already entered onto the highway. At the speed he was travelling he not only damaged himself badly but the vehicle the man was driving as well. So while we should not blame all scooter/bike riders, unfortunately, the innocent will more than likely be placed in the category of the lawless.

        I watched that guy try to get up several times but the pain he was in was far greater than the strength he had at the time. I pray he recovers in a timely manner and he learns from the mistake he made.

      I’ve personally seen, on many occasions, vehicle drivers not giving scooter riders the respect they deserve, same as any vehicle, on the road. Many times a scooter would be on a main road and a vehicle driver would simply take a turn off the same main road, putting the scooter in harms way. We can’t always blame the scooter drivers. Again in defense of some of them, I feel proud when they actually stop and wait for the light to turn green before proceeding. Not saying the scooters don’t take a lot of risks as well. It would be a perfect world if we all did what we should and followed the rules of the road. Stay safe out there everyone, we all want to live and we all have loved ones who want us around to enjoy life together.

    The colonial masters busy shaking up their bottle while the people are fast asleep to their wickedness as they have us busy fighting each other and blaming each other while giving them a free pass. We will soon understand.

    Yesterday I saw about 5 bike riders weaving in and out of traffic. One scared the mess out of me because he darted right in front of my car. He was speeding at a very fast rate and I thought to myself, if he hits the pavement he will not have any skin left on his body. Then I yelled in my car calling him a stupid a$$.

    All scooter drivers are irresponsible, uninsured, reckless hazards two vehicle transportation.
    If we cannot enforce the laws for scooter drivers then scooters must become illegal and be impounded if we are to remain a law-abiding society.
