Slow down
August 18, 2012Dear Sir,On Bermuda’s roads there are many areas where, during/after a long/hard rain shower, water puddles due to poor drainage, or, where there are inclines on the road. I am suggesting that drivers please slow down in these areas Please! Very often the road users passing in the opposite direction, including people walking and riding motorbikes, are temporarily blinded by the tremendous wave of water, which is splashed on them! This sudden splashing can be very frightening and extremely dangerous to everyone nearby, especially visitors on mopeds. The potential for serious injury and/or worse is huge! I am sure no one would want ourselves or our loved ones to be harmed due to someone’s thoughtless, careless actions! So folks, please consider your fellow commuters during rainy days and nights, especially those of you driving cars, vans, trucks and buses.JOHN HOLLISHamilton Parish
