THIS IS SO FUNNY AND ONLY IN ANTIGUA WE CLOSED THE BARN DOOR AFTER THE HORSE BOLTED. EVERY YEAR HUNDREDS OF THESE E-BIKE AND SCOOTERS COME OFF OF DIFFERENT CRUISE SHIPS EVERY SEASON, WHICH BY THE I HAVE PERSONALLY BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY SUPERIORS AND NOTHING..NADA NADA. HOW THING TINY CARTOON PLACE RUN ON AUTOMATIC FOR SO LONG WITHOUT COLLIDING IS AMAZING. EVERYBODY RUN AROUNG LIKE HEADLESS CHICKEN BOASTING ABOUT INCREASE TOURIST ARRIVAL, TAXI-MEN RUNNING DOWN GUEST FOR UNPAID FEE…SHOUTING AT SECURITY ” STOP THAT PASSENGER, HE HASN’T PAID ME”.
AS MR. B WOULD SAY “ONLY IN ANTIGUA”
Do you know that if you keep your lips touching each other stupidity won’t come out your mouth? We see there bike riders, motorcycle riders and scooter riders, how they just go through traffic like they are police officers with sirens. They even cut infront of your car like “hit me if you back”. So yeah, they most times contribute to the accidents they get in
Not all riders are reckless. Some people use these bikes responsibly. Don’t punish everyone for a few bad apples.
Legislation is one thing, but who’s going to enforce it? Police barely have the resources to manage regular traffic.
So the AG does not know that laws are already on the books and not enforced?
Obviously not even the police know that there are laws already on the books.
ENFORCE THE LAWS and end all the beauracracy.
Motorized vehicles is a term used for all vehicles. Please be specific. Everyone acts like they don’t have to adhere to road rules. A bunch of clowns driving
Those owners of these motorized vehicles think they don’t have to adhere to the rules of the road
It’s about time because them scooters are not License or insured
The Minister of Public Safety can’t regulate shit he is a colossal waste of time, he should be sent packing
