If all such accidents nationwide would be reported the forum would overflow.

Lucky boy, about 50 other motorbike riders didn't survive yesterday.

I see such lunatic racers daily around sundown speeding along our road.

Can't sympathize one bit... :/

Som Nom Na!!!

Was he driving on the street or the sidewalk - most power poles are on the sidewalk!

Witness said high speed and lost it on the bend.

 

Hell, I did that once when I was young and stupid. Luckily there were no obstructions, just a potato field to land in (and just to beat all the wise cracks) or I would have had my chips!

I have seen plenty on the side of the road here on the Island, some as much as 50 cms out from the kerb.
