  1. Why Lord why it seems as if these drivers not taking no caution take our little time and drive nuh look what happen now speed kill you have beign warned cant you hve a little patient save lives we are destroying too many people on the road

  2. It’s a disgrace with the condition of the roads in Jamaica .Shame on the government,tax payers money should fix all the road.Pot holes on every local roads. Very dangerous for pedestrians and motorist. Talk Talk and do nothing.

  3. This issue with road traffic accidents in Jamaica there are numerous measures that can be taken to cut the carnage on our roads, but, all that is being heard at present is pure talk, talk and no action. And, why is the burden being laid at the feet of the police, the police have more that enough on their hands. For example, why not saturate the roads with speed cameras, speed average cameras and monitoring cameras, why don’t we have proper road markings and signage. Whenever a motorist is being stopped by the police for a traffic offence why is he or she not breathalysed and drug tested on the spot. These are just some measures that would help. So, why are the authorities not taking action and stop the talking.

  5. They need to fix the damn problem of the bad roads in Jamaica πŸ‡―πŸ‡². Some of these potholes are manholes. They could swallow up a motor vehicle. I almost broke my darn ankle 😫 on a recent visit to the Country. I was just walking πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ down the street and next thing my foot was stuck in a pothole. They should have been doing breath analyzing tests a long time ago. The Politicians in charge of the Country are just some inept, and careless Government people. They will continue to have bad πŸ‘Ž road accidents until they fix the problems.

    1. The bad roads are one thing, the drivers racing to their deaths is another. Most accidents are on well maintained roads as most drivers, for love of their vehicles,won’t go at neck break speed on a bad road.

  6. I been saying that Jamaicans needs to plant more food to bring prices down! The less that they plant the higher the prices will be!

  7. Many of the citizens of this fair nation only know how to respond to punishment and reward, not to calls for duty and conscience….smh….

  8. Can you imagine if we had better roads across Jamaica; more road deaths for sure . Maybe potholes are our saviour!

  9. We need to leave all the things that are increased in prices on the shelves as a message to the sellers. Let them know that we cannot afford these items and will find ways to substitute them. Let us see if the items can remain on these shelves forever. I’d say to these farmers, sell for small profits and make a living or lost everything by your increased prices. I’m not even noticing these items when I shop as I’m treating it as politics, I’m not voting for these politicians who can’t help to maintain peace in Jamaica.

  10. The PM NEED to do like what the King in Jonah chapter 3:7 TO 10 to STOP CRIME AND VEHICLE ACCIDENTS AND ALL THE EVIL FOR 3TO 7 DAYS
