Re: Bike accident this morning - unfortunately (1) perished
Oh, it's not just the bikers that do that (swinging in and out of oncoming traffic to pass)... we used a very highly respected driver who is a vendor on the board for our last visit, and he was all over the place, barely making it back into his lane just to pass one car and not go any faster, over and over...breaking traffic laws left and right... all while on his two different cell phones.
I get that he had other jobs that day (he actually overbooked and from listening to his phone conversations had scheduled another pick up at the airport an hour after ours which is IMPOSSIBLE to do, considering he had to drive us to Negril and then go back to pick up his fares... I bet they waited two hours or more for him.), but his being in a hurry shouldn't have put our lives at risk, if even just a little.
Now that I think about it, we were there for 10 nights, and stayed at 3 different properties and pre-arranged for him to pick us up and drop us off at all of them. Except for the initial pick up and final drop off, he sent someone else in his place, which I was not expecting and didn't appreciate. I thought we hired him, and not him and his friends. The least he could have done is let us know.
Reckless, unsafe driving just seems to be the culture in JA. They just don't have enough police to enforce the laws consistently.
