Clarifying to say deadliest for this year. Following the deadliest weekend for road traffic accidents this year in Jamaica where ten persons died, 18º North is re-posting this editorial for free with one slight edit. Though Public Passengers Vehicles (PPVs) account for only about *6% of road fatalities, in this case, without ascribing blame, five of the ten persons who died over the weekend were operators or passengers of PPVs, according to the government’s Road Safety Unit.
There is only one person on the roads in JA ...the person behind the wheel as far as they are concerned...!!
