Since 1999, 68 people have lost their lives on Bermuda’s roads and hundreds have been seriously injured as a result of serious road traffic collisions. In the past four days, 2 teenage young men were involved in serious collisions and are now in the hospital recuperating from what can only be described as life changing injuries. Just this past weekend there were 27 collisions and yesterday there were 9 collisions with 5 resulting in injury. So, it is clear that we are facing a road crisis.
It is to that end the Bermuda Police Service is mounting a road safety initiative.
From a law enforcement perspective we are launching an invigorated enforcement initiative to change the behaviors on our roads, in order to cut down on the number of collisions and deaths, making the roads safer for all users.
Our aim is to change the culture on our roads and to make the roads safer for all by reducing the number of collisions and therefore deaths resulting from road traffic collisions.
