De po po cannot solve traffic problem!
Kaieteur News – Police could solve murder quicker than they could clear a traffic jam. Yuh ever notice that? A man get knock off in some bush-corner, police show up with chalk, cameras, and within a week, dem parading a suspect in front de press. Sometimes all dem got is one blurry CCTV image of a shadowy figure wearing a cap—and bam!—“suspect in custody.”
But put them same police at peak hour pon de East Bank or East Coast? Total collapse. De traffic does grind to a crawl and all because some undisciplined motorists lack patience and want to either bore the line or create an alternative lane of dem own.
De big problem is not accident, not breakdown, not rain, not potholes. Is indiscipline! These self-appointed Formula One drivers does decide that two-lane road is actually three-lane. Suddenly, a proper carriageway turns into more confusion than a wedding where both bride and groom show up late.
Law-abiding drivers, dem stuck like sardine, wasting four hours fuh reach home. Stress level high, blood pressure higher, fuel gauge empty. Meanwhile, de third-lane stars laughing, sliding in front as if dem get police escort.
Now, if police can lift fingerprint from half a teacup, and DNA from a hair strand to solve who kill who, how dem can’t solve this simple two-lane mathematics? Two mean two! Not three!
If dem can’t stand charge dem who boring and creating third lanes, then install cameras at the choke points. Every time one ah dem third-lane bandits slide in, send a ticket faster than phone company does send “Top Up now and win a car” text. Summons dem till dem learn road got rules.
People don’t need Sherlock Holmes. Dem don’t need CSI Miami. Dem just need police or cameras to stop de madness. Two lanes is two lanes. Anything more is robbery in broad daylight—robbery of time, patience, and sanity.
Dem boys seh, solve de small crime pon de road. Cause is de little traffic thief punishing people daily.
Talk half. Leff half.
