Understandable frustration
Editorial
SPEEDING has been identified as the cause of yet another horrific accident on a road in this country and concerned citizens are again understandably asking questions about what is being done to stop it. The frustration is evident in two letters we carry on the topic today.
We have visited this issue time and time again, backing calls for far tougher measures against those who seem to have a speed devil forever riding them.
All so often the tougher measures are promised and there's a lull in the breakneck speeding.
Then so soon after, it's back to business again -- until another horrific accident shocks the nation into numbness.
Despite claims about lower statistics, far too many people are dying far too often on the roads of this country and the authorities have simply got to go after those who insist on speeding.
By now, all Guyanese know who are the culprits in the main and as one letter-writer says, it is time to take the bull by the horns.
That letter-writer was here recently and was amazed at the lawlessness on the roads.
It makes little sense repeatedly going over the same ground - but this speeding menace on the roads of Guyana is going out of control and many more are going to die or be gravely injured unless urgent steps are taken to put the clamp on the culprits.
This situation cannot go unchecked and demands some priority - even as the nation goes about other urgent business.
