Dead is Jadheo Bhimsingh of No. 63 Village, Corentyne, an overseas-based Guyanese. According to police, the accident occurred around 13:00hrs and involved Bhimsingh and a 60-year-old driver from No. 64 Village. Investigators said the motorcyclist was proceeding south along the eastern carriageway at a fast rate of speed.

Bhimsingh was reportedly riding an unregistered motorcycle and was not wearing a safety helmet when he collided with motorcar PKK 5792, which was travelling along the western lane. The impact threw the motorcyclist onto the eastern grass parapet, leaving him with multiple injuries. Public-spirited citizens rushed him in an unconscious state to the Port Mourant Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. A breathalyzer test conducted on the driver of the car reportedly recorded readings of 7 and 8 micrograms. The driver remains in police custody as investigations continue.

It is painful, frustrating, and exhausting to see that in Guyana not a single day goes by without someone losing their life or being permanently scarred by an accident.

This is not bad luck.
It is not coincidence.
It is not “fate.”

It is recklessness. It is speeding. It is drunk driving. It is using a phone behind the wheel. It is thinking we are invincible — until reality hits us.

Every accident has a name.
A family.
Children waiting at home.
Dreams that will never be fulfilled.

We have become so used to reading headlines that we treat them like routine. But behind every news story is a mother crying, a father devastated, a family broken.

How long will this continue?

We cannot keep normalizing what is destroying homes every single day. The responsibility is not only on the government or the police. It is on every driver. Every motorcyclist. Every pedestrian.

Driving is not a limitless right. It is a serious responsibility.

If you are going to drive, do it consciously.
If you are tired, do not drive.
If you have been drinking, do not drive.
If you are angry, breathe before you start the engine.

One minute of carelessness can cost a lifetime.

Guyana deserves safer roads.
But above all, it deserves more conscious citizens.

Let’s reflect before the next headline carries the name of someone we love.

  My motto advising drivers( my children) and which I follow :
  Do not drive at such speed that you lose control of the vehicle- whether it’s
  a 3500,or 5,000 pound machinery. Stay at least 50 feet behind the vehicle
  in front, will give you time to react in an emergency. Normally, my speed is
  70-75 mph as allowed by law.
  In agreement with most of what you say. Many Guyanese driving in Guyana
  are in a hurry to get someplace, Observance of traffic rules, signs helps the
  driver to be in compliance and be safe. However, not so for some.
