Only then the parade organizers were holding the annual meeting to discuss public safety. I was functioning at that time as Health Disaster Coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>The National Office of Disaster Services was invited, as usual, at that twenty-third hour. I sent my ideas and a drawing, via email, to be presented at that meeting, The response was\u00a0 &#8211; one that I had heard before &#8211; \u00a0that it was too late for that; that the truck drivers\u00a0 might resist making the extra investment, etc.<\/p>\n<p>So, someone came up with the brilliant idea of placing a plywood guard over the wheels of the trucks. Wonderful! It\u2019s better to be fatally traumatized by plywood, than to be crushed by wheels.<em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/Kl4kFvoRzlFEUs6f6KOotZ\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP FOR MORE UPDATES<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>People are less likely to be run over by the front wheels. The driver and everyone in front can see, though they cannot hear, and the trucks move very slowly, so they can stop abruptly.\u00a0 What\u2019s more important is to put a fairly simple guard to prevent persons, who may slip at the sides of the trucks, from falling and ending up under the back wheels.<\/p>\n<p>For the electrical and other cables overhead, get an established height clearance worked out with the relevant agencies. \u00a0Wait! Am I making sense with all this?<\/p>\n<p>July 2022.<em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/Kl4kFvoRzlFEUs6f6KOotZ\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP FOR MORE UPDATES<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/Kl4kFvoRzlFEUs6f6KOotZ\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP FOR MORE UPDATES<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/Kl4kFvoRzlFEUs6f6KOotZ\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP FOR MORE UPDATES<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-964620345\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Letter to the Editor of Antigua Newsroom FULL o\u2019 TRUCKS by Dr J.
