really over a hat?? ppl not serious

[Richard Marshall]

Sad news to hear. But people do cross over time to time. Seen it happen alot. They always bypass the walkover. Spending a little extra time and energy, could have given him more time to live. What really possess people to take such a chance? Now his/her family is in sorrow, a driver and maybe other drivers and passengers passing by are traumatized. This should be a wake up call for anyone who crosses the nation's highways. Seriously.

1) Police Xtrail parked diagonally across the right west bound lane directly under the Megastore walkover. Dunno if another person "try ah ting"

Passed them at 4:15am

A SANTA CRUZ man was killed instantly yesterday morning when he was struck by a car while attempting to cross the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway.
The death of 52-year-old Jeffrey Darbeau, of La Canoa Road, Santa Cruz, has taken the country’s road fatality figure for the year so far to 135, according to an Express count.
It was around 6 a.m. that Darbeau was on his way to work at Rotoplastics Ltd, Don Miguel Road, Extension in El Socorro, when he was struck by a black station wagon heading west, reported police.
Officers said Darbeau had already made his way across the highway but his hat was blown from his head onto the roadway. When he attempted to retrieve the hat was when he was struck, said officers.
The driver of the vehicle sustained minor injuries and was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) in Mt Hope where he was treated.
Officers of the Barataria Police Station visited the scene and are continuing investigations.

A life is a life eh, and d man had loved ones, so R.I.P.

Now I going and spoil this with a "but".

But how anyone with two brain cells to rub together could get bounced down SO CLOSE to a walkover? And yuh seeing the shadow of the walkover in d pictures too! Natural selection is joke!

We take too many risks on the road. Drivers and pedestrians alike. Too many times, I see drivers about to miss their turn, but instead of proceeding to the next intersection to make a u-turn, they dash across three lanes to filter out. Now I hadda deal wit some kyant darting in front of me in 3tonnes of iron with indicators on like if that supposed to form a protective forcefield around them.

Somehow, the risk of accidental death for a 3-second manoeuvre is much more appealing than the two minutes it'll take to do it safely.
Same way a 6 second dash across six lanes seems better than a 2 minute walk above the roadway.Always a shortcut.
Is always a "bess drive" until yuh hit something. It musbe a "bess cross" until yuh get hit.

The law should be amended to exclude the driver from any legal responsibility and the victim or their family should pay for the vehicle repairs if anyone is killed or injured within 100m of a walkover. The double pain might convince people not to take the risk.

Hook, I believe that such logical thought/intelligence is lacking in many....maybe an evolutionary flaw or an imbalance due to improper pre/antenatal nourishment? I dunno....

What does that idiot's family members have to do with this??? So if I have a stupid ADULT brother who gets knock down under a walkover, I must pay for his stupid act? Was his family members controlling his legs?? He's an adult. How exactly would that prevent stupid people from doing stupid things ..... makes little sense.

[Hook]

Bizz. Check something.

Seatbelt laws. Driver liable for fine if passenger under 18yrs not using seatbelt. Right?

Smoking laws. Bar/shop owner liable for fine if person is caught in violation on their premises. Right?

In both cases, the pressure isn't just on the person culpable, but on others to be sort of their "brother's keeper". And it's been effective thus far, so it works. If they aren't going to listen to the law, maybe they'll listen to a loved one.

[Bizzare]

A driver can refuse to carry a passenger until he/she agrees to wear a seatbelt. This is why the law works. The driver has authority therefore he/she can be held partly responsible. Don't wanna wear a seatbelt.... then I can put you out.

A Bar/Shop owner can ask someone to leave their premises if he/she does not comply with the law. Again, this works because the owner has authority to do so. If the patron refuses to leave the premises, that's reason to call the police.


Even if a relative is present on the scene, he/she still does not have any authority in the situation, how can they be held responsible? makes sense?

logic is subjective. to them it "logical" to cut time and cross the highway on foot lol..

I would say ban all pedestrians from highways, or build footpaths for people living near them and fences to stop people from crossing in the vicinity. This doh happen in other countries with high speed roads, so it's also education that needed too.

[Hook]

It doesn't apply directly to the situation. If death isn't enough to deter them, how about the added financial and emotional stress of repairing the instrument of your demise?

[desifemlove]

Also have a highway patrol unit, not police per se or a branch of the police, but who can monitor the roads to cut out ALL stupidness (bad drives, pedestrians, etc.) they could even have precept powers.

[pablo_tt]

What I want to know, what the car insurance company would do? Would they pay out?

If not, can I take legal against the family for damage to my vehicle? It was negligence on the part of your family member who is now deceased

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Da good for dem

I know a woman who refuses to use a walk over. She does say da is for "different kinda people" and how da is a white people thing. She say she does do it rasta man style and just walk across and she wa see who bad enough to bounce she down.

Maybe they can take it from his NIS, insurance or old age benefits

someone said the visor on the cap said" if you can read this then youre too close"

[TriniAutoMart]

Agreed.

Ten or twenty years ago, there weren't many walkovers on the highways.
Now we have walkovers at many locations throughout our highways.

Laws need to be changed to suit the circumstances.

[pete]

Arrive alive should maybe do a banner facing the pavement, maybe stuck to the concrete barriers, along the lines of "X number of people have DIED crossing here, don't be freaking lazy and make it X+1, use the walkover" with that same image of the dead person covered down.

Thing is, it's not just the $ for damaging your car. I know someone who knocked down and killed someone crossing the highway and it SERIOUSLY causes stress years down the road. Not only legally but emotionally as well.
