DEAR EDITOR,
Kaieteur News – As a prolific writer, I’ll keep this short. Motorcycle banditry is on the rise, and yes; suggesting men be banned from riding motorcycles temporarily, seems like a ridiculous and farfetched idea; but this bandit situation really has nothing to do with the ladies. Maybe impractical, but truly effective. At least 99 percent of daytime/night time bandits are men. Sounds like a silly idea, since motorcycles are needed to do many other non-criminal activities as well. Maybe mandatory registration on ALL motorcycles again, for a very small fee, and for each, a bold unique alpha-numeric sticker is placed on the plate, which can be traced to an owner but can’t easily be removed, and can be seen from a distance. A similar situation was on the rise in another country. Motorcycles, the main transport avenue for the bandits were banned outright, which caused an upheaval for a short time, but motorcycle banditry and assaults became non-existent. Unfortunately, the uptick was a very sharp rise in vehicular traffic.
But wait; let’s see the solution from the men in uniform.
