if we go the way of fighting over who to blame, the blame game has no end. yes the government has a responsibility, but so do drivers. we trinis see open road ahead, and iz like for us to catch up with sound and produce a sonic boom. we are an immature society especially behind the wheel. yes the government should be looking at statistics of accident frequency in a certain area and deal with it. but the greater responsibility comes from us, the drivers.......obey the damn speed limit
1000% agree........
we speed because police don't even bother to run u down & throw the book at you....so we break the law...
.
we beat the sheit out of our spouses because the neighbours 'don't want to get involved'...so we break the law...
.
we make u-turns, stop & obstruct intersections/roundabouts, shortcut down one-way streets, drive into obstructed intersections, blocking motorists on the 'other side of the lights...you name it & Trini will break the law if they 'eh see ah police around'...
.
so...YES...I boldface enough to come here & say Govt not to blame

Stop looking all over the place for excuses.
That particular area, how many of the trees gone?
How many of the lamp posts gone?
If there were barriers at the bend, and maybe a 100 metres before, and after, would this car have been able to cross the median?
FOUR PEOPLE were killed instantly when the car they were travelling in crossed the median along the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway in Trincity and collided head on with a vehicle carrying acting Chief Justice Wendell Kangaloo yesterday.
Kangaloo underwent emergency surgery at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt Hope for a head injury and remains in critical condition at hospital.
Acting Prime Minister Jack Warner was among the scores of well-wishers who turned up at the hospital to offer support to the Kangaloo family. Several judges and relatives of the injured judge were also seen at the institution.
Kangaloo's sister is former People's National Movement MP Christine Kangaloo. She was too distraught to speak to the media yesterday.
Chief Justice Ivor Archie was expected to return yesterday from an official trip to New Jersey, USA.
The accident occurred around 5.30 a.m. as Kangaloo, accompanied by two members of his security detail, Cpl Terrence Fortune and PC Marvin Caesar, both assigned to the Special Branch, was heading to Santa Rosa Park, Arima.
A spokesperson from Police Traffic Branch said the accident has taken the road fatality toll to 70.
The incident occurred in the vicinity of Savannah Drive, between the Trincity and Orange Grove intersections on the east-bound lane.
Fortune and Caesar also suffered injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment, police said. Fortune, the driver of the black Toyota Prado SUV, was treated and later discharged from hospital while Caesar was expected to be discharged last night.
Prayers were being offered by members of the legal and judicial fraternity for Kangaloo's speedy recovery.
Police identified three of the four victims, who were travelling in a white Honda Civic.
They are Ryan Ramtahal, 25, of Industry Lane, Belmont; Jeremy Soyer, 24, of St James; and Jovaughn Spencer, 22, of Braithwaite Street, Belmont. The other victim, a woman, has not been identified by police.
Police said Ramtahal, the driver of the Civic, was heading home after attending a party at the opening of a new nightclub, The Status Nightclub, formerly known as The Living Room, in Arima.
Minutes after the crash, several ambulances, as well as fire officers from the Tunapuna Fire Station responded to render assistance. Several Special Branch officers and personnel from the Guard and Emergency Branch were also seen at the accident site.
Kangaloo, Fortune and Caesar were taken to the Arima District Hospital, treated and subsequently transferred to the Mt Hope facility. Court Protocol and Information Manager Jones P Madeira, who lives in Arima, accompanied Kangaloo to Mt Hope in the ambulance. The firearms the officers were carrying were secured by their colleagues.
Dismembered body parts of the four victims were strewn across the highway, along with several parts and pieces of the car which were torn apart upon impact.
After Kangaloo's SUV and the wreckage of the Honda Civic were brought to the Arouca Police Station, Ramtahal's mother and a male relative, showed up at the station.
Police said the woman informed them that she heard of an accident on the news and had been trying to contact her son who did not return home yesterday.
The woman was told by officers that they had found identification of her son at the scene of the fatal crash and they believe he may have been one of the four victims.
She was taken to the back of the police station by acting Insp David, where she identified the wrecked Honda Civic.
Among the officers who visited the scene were Supt Garth Nelson and Insp David of the Arouca Police Station. Nelson is probing the incident.
