 No. 11... When I read the RG. I thought he was driving a taxi. The picture online mabe confusing me. It doesn't look like a taxi but I stand to be corrected.

Judging by the extensive damage to the offside of the vehicle I would summise that speed was a factor. When will it end.....

Such a young man with so much to look forward too.

Maybe it was mechanical or other related.

My condolences to the family.

 My condolences to the Family of Betheny Heinrichs on her untimely death recently. The 13th road death this year and sad that things like this happen.

Rummy and the Sucks family. Sad

Well.....we had another road death. And of course the pundits pick up on it and know all the answers.

Once again, it's a sad event. Cycle meets car. Having been there I can assure you that there is more too it than meets the eye. Maybe an ill person, road conditions, alcahol, et al.

I just drove 2 miles on ice, snow, down 3000 feet and made it back. I was lucky that the truck behind me crashed into a snow bank and did not rear end me. I saw them comming down the hill and pulled into the local bar parking lot because I check my mirrors...............

I did'nt have a cold one but he did.

Prayers to the family. There's a reason. Hope it's it's not the season.

"Limerick"....you joined Customs because you get paid big bucks. Deal with it................Your assinine comments about protecting Bermuda, it's children, is a load of crap.

Reality..........................

If your so adamnent about what you said, you would have joined the Police and made the same comments.

Your inteligent but don't try to pull the wool over "Rummies" eys................................

Condolences to the family of 23 year old Dareiko Simons. 

Bermuda is a "high risk" area according to the Pan American Health Organization.  The culture of getting on/in a vechicle 'half hot' (or more) must be the most significant factor. 

How about getting serious about a crackdown on drink driving, rather than ticketing taxis for not turning on their GPS?

I would mention also the:
  • idiots Bermudian teen acting like gangster on 50cc bikes
  • the unuseful and stupid exam test that my wife that speaks only french and german was able to pass with teo shots ...
Instead of charging people with 100 bucks of ticket having this crappy vultures looking for your 1 hour park ticket expiring, especially on saturday,  why they don't do more controls about drunk and smoked people on Friday night? ome'n everyone knows that on Friday evening there is a control after 7pm at harbourfront 'spot' ...
Had they ever checked the middle or south road?? I don't think so ....  Lips Sealed

Good points Bang.

It is pretty clear there is no real will to enforce the existing laws to make the place safer.

The defacto law on drinking and driving in Bermuda is: "don't crash and you won't get busted".   blink

It's simply ridiculous ... My wife is scared to drive the bike here, she was hurted twice in the morning by this people that wake up late and then drive like crazy cows in the middle of the road.
Come'n wake up at 6 like I do and you will have all the time to taste a crappy breakfast in Hamilton and you will find also a nice parking slot for you car ...  Slap
They should something anyway, at least for these teens that drive like crazy. The most funny thing is when you read on Royal Gazette these tearjerker articles about 'another family lost a nice guy on the road' and then you discover that the 'nice guy' was simply driving like a crazy, drunk, at 2 am of Saturday morning. I mean, I feel really sorry for the parents, but I know that it's always better prevent than cure, isn't it?
