Fcuk that. In the real world there are always those who do what they want and passive restraints are necessary. Also accidents do happen for other reasons besides speeding. All the philosophizing about what people should do with their brake pads, top speeds, vehicle maintenance yet this one stretch of the highway repeatedly has fatal accidents compared to the other sections with PROPER restraints. Save lives and forget the easy talk: put in fcukin cable barriers.

Only fluid is IV line.

when was the last time allyuh hear ah man get charge for speeding in this place?
or ah man get a ticket for parking on a sidewalk and forcing a woman with a baby in a stroller to go into the dangerous rode to pass?
I see people ticketed for sidewalk parking all the time in Marabella.
The only way legally to deduce a cehicle's speed in Trinidad and Tobago is via timing the vehicle of a preset distance. After police find someone over the speed limit they walk out into the road and signal for the errant driver to stop. Good luck doing that sheit on the three lanes.

The thing is there is science behind it.
Regardless of reckless driving etc, at 80Km/h everyone has time to either come to a complete stop or if hit the accident won't be even remotely close to as bad as this.
Speeding is actually the core.

There was a study done that shows those who drive outside of the average driven speed on a road, are more at risk of causing or being involved in an accident. (IIRC). The average speed motorists drive on the highway is 95 - 100km/h from my experience.. Those who go faster (or much slower) than that are the ones who cause traffic pileups, frustration among other drivers = cause people to take unnecessary risk to avoid / pass them, etc etc.
It was shown that the accident rate actually went down in some countries where they RAISED the speed limits. Everyone likes to falsely blame 'speed'.. when there is much more to it.

They don't have our piece of sheit driving test which so many still can't pass even with an automatic vehicle, that they then take the alternative of buying their permit. With even less skill / awareness but yet out on the road.

Super pantyman should tell people on TV to pay attention to what behind them so ambulance and police wouldn't have to stop behind every driver and wait for them to move.
What purpose did his presence serve at that scene?
Rip to the deceased though. PD* plates on the tiida, maybe buy their permit too.

ironically the same accident the ambulance responding to creating traffic that keeping them back - why don't we use helicopters in these circumstances? over an hour (according to Ian).

Also as stated earlier in the thread ENFORCEMENT is KEY but proper infrastructure is needed.

Woman who died had her head crushed.
