    No license plate, no inspection sticker, no worries either. At least the driver was sober enough to run it into the hillside, or was it just luck?

    I think it should be the concern of every law abiding citizen to question the authorities as to why these trucks are using the public roads without license and insurance. Mr commissioner of police why are you not doing something about this blatant disrespect for the laws of this country?? .most of the trucks backhoes and heavy equipment that operates on the bvi public roads are not licensed and insured. but you and your officers only see the scooter guys.i will continue to asked this question until I take my last breath. why Mr commissioner of police you and your men isn't doing anything to curb the blatant disregard for law and order in having these heavy duty vehicles operating on the roads without license and insurance.?? are you waiting for someone to be killed or seriously injured? do something now.

      how are you so sure most of the trucks backhoes and heavy equipment is not licensed and insured. are you going to every insured company and getting these information are you going DMV to make sure their came to get a sticker.

      why are you blaming the commissioner of police for this as well, what does this have to do with bikes. I will be honest I have seen more reason for the police to be behind this bikes then a truck. cause most of these bikes are stolen, riding without helmet, no license plate and riding as the road belongs to them alone, I can talk cause one run into my mirror well my ride was park up and he got up and ride off thank god someone near by know who he was so I could have gotten my ride fix.

      and yes I have a bike as well.

      please don't hold your breath you will dead.... cause what are you asking for the commissioner to do is impossible just like asking the young man on these bikes to be careful and follow the rules. as i said before how are you so sure most are not up to date.
