" Yes. It's just that some people don't seem to notice what's going on. Some people are just driving a bit more carelessly than others." Miss Crisson's father Andrew Crisson, 41, the President of Crissons agreed with his daughter, adding "They are driving too fast and not paying enough attention. This is the result of recent accidents."

"Absolutely. I strongly deplore the cyclist coming in between traffic that it is dangerous. I don't know why authorities haven't done anything... I have almost been involved in two or three accidents (due to dangerous drivers)"

"No. It's individual. You have those people that want to overtake, but not all people...You have good drivers and you have bad drivers."

Name: Rosemarie Pedro

" Our bicycle's need to slow down. They are not invincible. If you go between two buses you're going to get hurt. They just do crazy things."

"The young people, the one's on the bike's, definately they are. They like to go in and out of traffic because they can. They forget that there is danger.. even when it is raining people are speeding... Drivers are usually more cautious. Bermuda has hardly anything for adolescent to occupy their minds."

" Yes, especially bike drivers and young people," says Miss Taylor. "There's too many accident's. People are speeding and they aren't mindful of others," says Miss Ahad. "My granny calls them 'road rodents'" says Miss Taylor. "Everybody does it" the two agree.
