Dear Sir,

I am agree with Mr. Bill Nearon for what he said about punishing cell phone drivers by,increasing the fine to $750. However, I feel the fine should go up to $800. After all, if there are people who will overspend their wealth just for a car or bike, and still whip out a cell phone while they drive or ride, they should be able to pay that hefty fine. If not, confiscate the vehicle until the fine is paid and with cars like these two, I'm pretty sure they won't remain impounded if that happened to them especially since they love that vehicle.

Young Marc Bean is right about the speed limit. Who really drives at 35 kph in Bermuda? Not even the police drive at this speed so why not increase to 50 kph? This way Bermudians will be more at ease (except for the speeders/drunk drivers and the stupidly cellphone driving lovers who cannot drive their car without having a cellphone attached to their ear or the more insane text riders=text message riding individuals). Fines should be in effect only if the person exceeds 50kph. (or the other craziness I mentioned). Mr.Editor, I want all to make a note that what Marc Bean has stated should also be approved unless the individual is unfortunately a tourrorist(a tourist on a rental bike) meaning they should go slow.

IN AGREEMENT WITH BOTH

Devonshire
