    Riding recklessly this is the consequence. He was full throttle passing like he was being chased! Sorry he didn’t make it where he was going but they don’t learn from all the others…many more will have to suffer, many more will have to die….

    Another $250,000 bill for NHI (according to the Minister). When will the laws regarding, speeding, helmets and insurance be enforced? How many young men have to be disabled, vegative or worse before the laws that are already in place are enforced?
