    Everything is scattered into pieces. They are giving vehicle drivers heart palpitations as they dodge in and out of traffic. This almost happened to me yesterday. A scooter driver passed in front of me so close that I thought he would clip the front of my vehicle. I don't know what happened here, but it is the norm now.

    Life Is God's Gift Blessing. May Your Recovery Of Your Be Short, And Full.

    Often times motor cycle accidents that sometimes caused death is also one of our major problems in the B.V.I. who are to blame. We are in one or more way, excluding the umborn, and those void of the ability to comprehend (understand the high risk.

    Sadly true, but yet true. For decades past the topic issue behaviors have been allowed, and even to this day to knowingly continue unchecked in spite of ots negatiove impacted.
    The RVIPF has tried, but hasn't got full public support. Healthcare fund is insufficient to deal with the neglect of this modern day live-fast-die-young ignorance, that is largely being ignored by, in my opinion, the majority of the political leaders at the greivious, and finacil burden of the minority.

    It is true, that sooner or later that all physical flesh will returned to its original state, dust, but especially to all reckless motorcyclers, what are your hurry, and to where?
    It is equally true that the long the life do not prove the fuller the life, but what is your hurry, and where to?
    Think about this, young ones. Ever since the first man was created, we know not how long ago. But since that long time has past, billions, and billions, more humans have came, lived, and died. The majority of them have not experienced their fiftiet birthday. Again I asked, especially the youths, what's your hurry? Stop trying to race with time. A race against time is equally a race time. Like God eternal, same is time. Accept the time you were given. Live out all the time you were given, a split second at a time,.

    Not really news is it when the inevitable happens. I see the registration plate must have been knocked off. Seems to be following the no tint rule though. Good citizen. Probably a businessman.

    Adults are the greater hindrance to proper social behaviors, far, than youths are. In reference to the topic issue the ongoing problem is very serious one. Human males, and female mated, pregnancy
    occored, and here they are, riding motorcycling like bats out of hell, so to speak.
    Bad mouuthing, and wishing them bad help neither them nor us. It is far less expensive to help as many of them as we can. They are our neighbors children. When the head (adults) are spoilminded, the whole body is corrupted. When the people of any community love rattling their mouth on others peoples shortfall, but turn their blind to see, their etching ears to hear, their evil mouth to, and talk against those that they care not for, it is well known as the saying goes; "a divided nation (people) cannot stand.

    Help as many youths as you can. Can as many youths, and some crazy head adults, too, as you can, if you can. The life you help save may be your own, your family member, your uncle, your aunt, your cusin or cousins.

    Think positive of others.
    Speak positive of others
    Act positive for the betterment of the people of the B.V.I
