Bike accident this morning - unfortunately (1) perished

People on this tread keep calling this an accident.

Definition of an accident; An accident, mishap, or, more archaically, misadventure, is an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance, often with lack of intention or necessity.

This was no accident. Police services across North America have stop referring to these as accidents. They are called collisions now. Based on the definition above, when a person gets on a motorcycle and chooses to drive like a maniac, this is no accident and we should stop referring it as such.

As for the police, what are they going to do. Police show up and the motorcyclists just run away. Maybe taking out some incident bystander while running. The police having nothing that will catch these guys and even trying would give the rider nothing more that an even bigger rush.

Motorcyclists will do things like this for kicks a notoriety. The true villains here are the ones on the side of the road cheering this kind of behavior on. Take away the audience and take away the behavior.

When I was sitting on the verandah and the bikers were racing up and down beach road it was about 10:00 p.m. Heck, at my age I can't stay up until 3:30 a.m. Fadder Jim

@ Fadda Jim. I didn't want to say that. I thought you were burning the candle at both ends.

This is very sad news, but not unexpected. It's apparent to me that drivers are more safety conscious in Jamaica than they were ten years ago ... Drivers used to be even crazier ... I remember driving along on a 2-lane road when a driver behind me decided to pass me, and at the same time, the car behind him to decided to pass. I had 2 cars passing me at the same time, on a 2-lane road. Fortunately there wasn't a car coming from the opposite direction.
