Go to the Bermuda news section for snippets of new from BermudaRebellion ... or stupidity?
Dear Sir,
Have you noticed the number of motorbike riders who are riding around with their helmets undone? I am curious to know if any in the Police, Ministry Transport or members of the Road Safety Council have noticed. I am also curious if any one of them may want to comment on this new and dangerous trend. There is no doubt in my mind that such comments would be helpful to offset the very poor example this is giving to the most impressionable youngsters who are watching. The cruel irony is that this seeming act of rebellion (or is it simple stupidity?) is that it poses a much greater risk to the rebel himself. With a little foresight, perhaps their friends and family may determine it worthwhile trying to influence them NOW to 'grow up' and act like the adults they want us to consider them to be.
