A random sampling of Bermuda’s motoring public welcomed word that police will implement tougher tactics to clamp down on bad driving habits.This after police released photographs of ‘rogue’ motorists committing driving offences on Bermuda’s roads.The Royal Gazette took to the streets of Hamilton yesterday to find the top ‘pet peeves’ for motorists on Bermuda’s roads. Motorcyclists who create a ‘third lane’ to overtake vehicles topped the list.Taxi driver Vincent Dyer said he notices it not only on East Broadway but in Paget and other areas almost daily.“The third lane motorists who zoom down where there’s room is my pet peeve. It’s dangerous and they have no consideration for traffic travelling in the opposite direction.“As a taxi driver I see a lot of them overtaking on blind corners everyday; all I can say is King Edward VII Memorial Hospital is not closed. They put themselves in danger really, and I would like to see people be more courteous on our roads,” said Mr Dyer.Another taxi driver, Alaine Mouchette said: “The bikes overtaking on blind corners and that third lane motorists really bother me because it’s dangerous. Number one it’s dangerous and it’s annoying.“I notice it because I’m out here everyday all day and I wish they would stop speeding and just slow down.”Salvation Army truck driver Alma Ingham pointed to young riders as his main concern.“These young folks riding around without their helmets fastened properly and being a nuisance on the road by overtaking and what not. I don’t agree with that and I think they should get on these young folks about that.”Norbert Simons, a civil servant took issue with drivers who pay more attention to other things than the road while driving.“When they’re driving along in the traffic and they’re stopping but the traffic is moving on but they’re got to stop to fix their hair or putting on make-up while their driving or they’re on their cell phone.“That’s my top three because they’re not paying attention to what’s going on. I’m not singling out women, I’m talking about people period, especially the ones on their cell phones.“The truth of the matter is Bermuda is becoming like the ‘Wild, Wild West’ — no law, no rules, the rules just don’t apply.”Another city employee, Michael (Merks) Richardson said third lane motorists irritates him the most.“I can’t understand, especially when I was growing up, why would you go on the left side of a vehicle to overtake it; that’s the blind side for most people driving cars.“If the car has on the indicator to go left and you go inside on the left when the car is turning, you’re going to end up between the car and the sidewalk. It’s very dangerous, it’s just plain stupidity to me, it’s not reckless, it’s just plain stupid.”He also took issue with the maintenance of roundabouts. “They used to be painted with fluorescent paint with reflective signs that show up at night. All that’s gone away, and I guess we can’t afford any paint.“In the past when you approached a roundabout, whether you were in a car or on a bike the whole thing used to light up because of the fluorescent paint and it’s no longer there. And is some cases the lighting is poor which is causing accidents,” he said.“The only other thing I would add to that is enforcement by the police for speeding in the City of Hamilton alone is non-existent. They need to be more visible and they need to collect all this money out here that they’re missing.”Sales associate Diann Hall said as far as she’s concerned, common courtesy has gone ‘out the door’.“Nobody’s considerate of others anymore, everybody’s about self. The bikes overtake you on the left and right and they just don’t give a crap about anything, then they want to put their finger up at you,” she said.“And when you let people out of a gate, they don’t even toot or say thank you.“I just think Bermudians have gone selfish and just plain nasty in some cases and those of us from the ‘old school’ had good standards and morals; and we passed that on. But all that’s gone, we have to find a better way.”
