    I don't know why his tire blew out but these bad roads are going to kill someone, I swear. My car tire went into a deep pothole causing me to veer out of control for 2 seconds until I got it under control. I was never so scared. I am so glad he made it out alive. FIX THESE DOGGONE ROADS NOW! They are a hazard to our lives.

      Roads never killed anyone. Drive like you all have common sense and you will be ok. I have been driving on these roads for forty plus years without incident. Not even a blowout tire

    if You're driving at a moderate pace will it be this bad if your tire blows out? I think the people of the BVI drives TOO fast going NO where. Including these big truck and trailer drivers.
