SVG needs guard rails, walls, barriers on the roads
EDITOR: I, personally, have driven for more than 50 years on roads north of the Arctic Circle, rural roads in southern Mexico, in Finland and the far north of Scotland and gravel roads in the mountains of Wales and Switzerland and the Massif Central of France. I have never felt less safe or more fearful for my life than being in a car or bus in St Vincent. The need for guard rails, walls, or real barriers on the road here is urgent. If the Government is too poor or indifferent to that need, perhaps the providers of automotive insurance here might be prevailed upon to mount a fund drive to collect monies for that end. Too many die needlessly, or incur financially crippling medical expenses due to the lack of same. It needs to end now.
