    While visiting Dominica recently and taking public transportation, I noticed many senseless and reckless drivers operating vehicles with no regards for their own lives; let alone the lives of others. I boarded a bus to Roseau and had to get off 8 miles before my destination; for fear that the driver may not make it into town. Never a surprise whenever I read or hear of these accidents in Dominica.

    I really think people should get the facts of an accident before posting such nonsensical comments did it ever occur to you all that is not accident is a result of speeding, drugs or alcohol. that we have a serious issue with trucks carrying sands and stones uncovered and its falling in the road, this is a main accident cause. we need a hotline to call so they can send out street sweeps to clean up the road.

      This area has a quary, so why not add police patrol during the hours of operation when trucks are carrying their load and enforce the laws already on the books. Seems pretty simple to me.

    I suspect long time is a “Jumbie” that causing so many accidents. Those drivers need to go Grandbay or Castel Bruce to see what is really going on. :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

    Actually the truck drivers who overload and do not cover their vehicles when carrying sand and stones are the ones to blame for that accident. No one else. Those loose chippings round the corner is what caused that guy to drift to the opposite side of the road and collide with the oncoming vehicle. This could all be avoided if we would only think of what could happen to others because of our carelessness.

      Dominica has no standards. And if we do, they are never upheld.

    Dominica divers need to get additional reminders of road ethic.

    I think is careless and reckless driving that’s causing all these accident. Drivers take your time on the on too much of speeding will cost your life and others.

      Sometimes them drivers that act like they do not know where they are going or not seeing the road are the cause. .

    I just can’t understand this accident because it seems as though both vehicles were heading the same direction. I can see what looks like a landslide of bolders in front of the vehicles and I wonder if they were trying to avoid it. But thanks God no one got seriously hurt.

      No problem when they kill themselves. The sad thing is when they go and kill innocent people.

      you are insinuating that the drivers were intoxicated? seems you were with both of them or at least one of them before they got into the vehicle.
