      You could not have just said, hope they ok, you gotta say to drunk like you was there to know what happened. My goodness with humans. They always know when it comes to other people but never know when it comes to them and theirs.

        @@xxx you are a part of the problem also. Learn to speak to one individual without including the entire specie as if above it all. Yes they were wrong for assuming but haul them up…. Yes I may sound petty but you need to learn to address whoever is at fault only. It will help your outlook on life overall.. Think deeper. And just one last thing: You as a human would be included in your last statement because you can’t ever say you don’t fit into that statement????.

          Stop with the generalisations and assumptions. A large portion of the population are not from the BVI and 'Tolans are one group that make up the BVI. How do you know for sure the

      What language are you speaking in man? Read your comment and don’t understand a word that you typed.

        I am not Jamaican, but I understand every single word and sentence Theron said. I admit some words needed assumptions to start, but they all fall into place when you look at the context of the situation. But that is how you learn foreign languages.

    There are a number of these small cars that plies the WE route that behaves just like the bikers. Once their feet are on the accelerator there is no easing up until they reach their destination. They just bob and weave through the traffic. oblivious of the number of near misses they create daily. My thought is that they must be carrying something hot so they cannot spend an extra five minutes in the normal flow of traffic.

      Those who demonstrate that type of behaviour are pathetic morons whose sense of their absent manhood and wanting to be a revelant participant in the art of living,make senseless noise and control inaminate objects.
      In the VI, this behaviour is especially attributed to the one specific demographic whose life performance is such at their previous and generational home countries and abroad.
      A mad unyielding futile search for their never to gain manhood. Early death is their gift to mankind,a saving grace.

    West End Roads and ocean are haunted .Few of my friends lost their life on the roads and in the ocean, at one stage in the 90s it's like every week somebody lose their life..One survivor reported seeing a tall well dress man in the middle of the Road, "A Spirit" when try to avoid him, you end up in the ocean or upside down..

      You don't need street lights if you have good vision (and are not speeding above the 40 mph limit). If you can't see to drive at night WEAR GLASSES!!!

    from Sea Cows Bay to West End. Many persons have died unnecessarily on this dangerous road for the last 50 years. If you drive over the 40mph speed limit their spirits appear in the road during full moons especially in October and November.

      That stretch of wide open concrete is an offense to the sensibility of those with no quality ,always on the lookout to disrupt the quality of life or ending the life of others. Often we get lucky and they personally and permanently end their own earthly misery.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again " a sober person driving the speed limit and paying due care and attention could not have done that".
