    I sincerely hope that the motor cycle riders that got injured in Road town, been or being treated at the Dr. OrlandoD. Smith Hospital, will soon recover healthwise from injuries. I hope that the rider isn't at fault. Maneuvering in traffic by motor bike is probably one of the most difficult way to travel in the British Virgin Islands, more especially so in the are from Baughers Bay to Fort Burt Hotel road point. Because of political negligence to enforce that laws been inacted, probably 99% of the motor cycle riders in the B.V.I don't use helmets, and many of them ride their motor bike, and scooters like mad men, and on a much. lesser number, and mad women, both day and night everyday.

    Our political representatives love to inact laws, traffic laws included, but avoid enforcement of them because they fear general elections day backlash against their personal selfish ambitions individually.
    The RVIPF without the law inacters (political leaders, and public co-operation curb this on going, and spiking upward of motor cycle and motor scooter accidents in the British Virgin Islands. The most dangerous motor cycle and scooter riders are people of this world are people that have little concern for their own physical safety, muchless the safety of others, stupid idiots.

    Just from a picture but the vehicle looks like its at a lot more of a dramatic angle than it would have been if it was in the lane closer to the entrance it was trying to enter.
