Dominica News Online (DNO) will follow that story and provide an update when it becomes available.
DNO extends condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of the deceased.
while it is fair to say that seatbelt should be used………de police must go out there an enforce it
no one should be allowed to get a pass
I do not know why those blue clowns keep quoting the bible.There have been several traffic accidents in DOMINICA where people die and no one was charged,after an investigation.You are singling out Skerrit son because you are a political bouloukoo andpower hungry bumbarro.You are not talking about driving if you do not talk about I-95 in the USA.I can say for a fact the most lazy department in the force is TRAFFIC
Condolences to the family of the unfortunate accident victims.
I have driven on snow and ice covered roads in the US and Canada, through heavy overnight fog in the hills of Pennsylvania, on the no speed limit Autobahn highway of Germany, and on the winding curves of Jackie Robinson Parkway in New York, the Canyon Hills of California, the wnding snowy roads of Colorado; however, no other challenging roadway gives me the heebie jeebies like the curvy, hilly, winding roadways of my beloved homeland.
Drivers ( novice or experienced, native or visitors must exercise caution at all times on the very dangerous terrain that add so much allure and beauty to our beautiful nature islands.
This is sad. However, seat belt and helmets both save lives or reduce severity of injuries. It is fair to say that dozens of travelers have met a terrible fate due to lack of attention to these safety devices; not to mention speed and impairments. How many of these end results should we have before the government enforces and implement laws related to seat belt and headgear laws. Do we need a celebrity’s death to take action?
Let me first extend condolences to family and friends of the victims of these accidents.
Is the son of the devil still out of state? ( not referring to anyone in particular because Jesus referred to those who do the deeds of the devil like liars and murderers etc as son’s of the Devil John 8:44)). I ask this question because every time this evil man goes out of state or about to leave, expect multiple fatal accidents because he has to offer his blood sacrifice.
Heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased. The roads in Dominica were not designed for speeding. They are too narrow, too many curves, not sufficient signage, inadequate markings.
Most of these vehicular accidents are caused by speeding and reckless and careless driving. A greater police presence on the will help.
The mandatory wearing of seatbelts, the use of
breathalyzer to estimate blood alcohol concentration of drivers, an ongoing campaign promoting a designated driver when attending functions where alcohol will be consumed.
Traffic laws are too lax and those in place are not being strictly enforced. However, the responsibility of obeying the traffic laws and driving carefully lies with us the drivers.
True. However the safety laws are on the books, what is happening is the police have too much of a casual approach to traffic enforcement. No respect for traffic signs including STOP signs. The stop sign outside the Hospital is frequently ignored as many drivers approach with no intention of stopping.
