    them need to slow down: full speed going where: our territory is small and I just can't see the need for the fast driving plus some of the public roads are being repaired and no proper warnings to the drivers

    Oh they must have been a victim of the new driving trend in Tortola: People speeding around corners not on their side of the road. It kind of follows the other two BVI driving trends that people have been complaining to the lazy @$$ cops about: People no longer using their indicator and People failing to yield or stop when their side of the road is blocked. Hey tourists you think sky diving is living on the edge? Try driving in the BVI now, now there is a real heart stopper, since or officers rarely stop anyone for those mentioned infractions.

        Check what? I have seen police officers see people commit it right infront their own eyes and then hail the person I have seen the police officers themselves do it. So don't come here chatting no piss about how to please ayo. THEY DON"T, that I have seen and witnessed for a fact, have a poll on VINO and have them ask the general public, they do not maybe in your head they do...

    One eye? it is not only the Police. It is an issue of concern in the BVI. Obesity is a contributor to a lot of chronic diseases. I guarantee that if you check your own weight you may be surprise where you fall on the scale. Going to the gym is good but it is just a small factor in the fight against the subject. Sitting down and doing nothing.. like you are doing and waiting to critique others is also a contributory factor to many illnesses...sometimes it starts by the person loosing one eye.
