    what we need is to set up a good organ donation system, if we are going to continue losing our young people this way at least let their deaths help give someone else life

      I agree. We need to have organized donor organ system in place. Too much young people leaving us and they can help others live.

      But then knowing how greedy people are in the BVI, this will become a business and eventually freak accidents will be the more than the norm.

    Scooters ain't the problem. The riders need to respect the road and know that they will always be on the losing side when they go against a car. Them Filipinos ain't getting in accidents because they treat their scooter like transportation not a toy.

      Yesterday I saw a young man on a bike doing a wheely passing by RiteWay. I thought, that if the bike flipped backward, he would hit his head on the pavement and die because he had no helmet on. He also had no plate on the bike. Why was he taking his life for granted?

    Sad indeed I often see them popping wheelies on the treasure isle road to delta gas station to prove what??? That they are fearlessly talented?? Looking for a pat on their shoulders? They are not learning from the demise of their fellow riders. Death and the grave are never satisfied..... They live as if there is no judgement. And many do but will wake up 1000 years too late. Sigh. Parents afraid to discipline, courts in experienced in dealing with families. Police couldn't careless... Government to busy infighting. Society held hostage and the funeral homes competing. Who wins?

    I am indeed sorry for the loss of life. Especially, a young one. However, I will say it again the Royal Virgin Islands Traffic Department should continue to educate the road users of the safe driving on the road. My people it is real and those who don't want to listen will pay the price with their lives This goes to all vehicle users in this country. PLEASE, PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE.

    You all keep blaming the bike riders but what about those car drivers that are doing the same wrong things as the riders? Especially taxi drivers.

    has altered the minds of our youths , so talking won't reach them /and whether you want to hear it or not we are seeing the evidence of it happening everyday right in front of our eyes / and some will say it ain't true / some will say they lying on the youths / but the stunts continues on the streets as a part of our new culture . If the PARENTS are afraid to have their kids doa blood test , then maybe the will prefer to pay an undertaker to put them to rest in peace ????
