Norbert Issues Road Safety Appeal To Motorcyclists

Home Affairs and Crime Prevention Minister Jeremiah Norbert has issued a road safety appeal to motorcyclists following last week’s incident in which children and a biker sustained injuries after the biker lost control while doing a wheelie and hit the youngsters on the John Compton Highway. “Any motorcyclist would tell you once you board your motorcycle there’s that adrenalin, that rush that you’re getting,” the former police officer told reporters. However, the Micoud North MP stressed the need for caution, especially on two wheels. “We should follow the rules and regulations of the road. Not because you have a motorcycle that gives you authority or that type of liberty to be able to maneuver how you want,” Norbert stated. He urged bikers to be more careful. Norbert, who in 2021 lost his right leg after a motorcycle accident, sympathised with the young victims and the motorcyclist involved in last week’s road incident. “It also speaks to wearing your helmet- being vigilant. Drivers too, also have to be mindful to look out for motorcyclists, especially when you are approaching these junctions because the motorcycle, I mean, in just one glance the motorcycle would get there,” the former police officer told reporters....
