How much longer will this carnage continue?

Dear Editor,
Based on what was observed, it seems as if immediately after the Guyana Police Force announced that the stop-and-search procedure would be reduced, motorists started to show their appreciation by recklessly utilising their freedom on the roadways to cause serious and sometimes fatal accidents around the country.
It boggles my mind to see so many accidents occurring and motorists continuing to disregard all caution that they are supposed to exercise on the roadways. Added to that, we’re presently experiencing periodic heavy rainfall, and that makes the roadways extremely slippery and dangerous.
Editor, we are presently confronting the deadly COVID-19 virus, heavy rainfall that is causing widespread flooding, unnecessary increase in prices for almost everything available in Guyana, and now the unwanted and deadly accidents occurring countrywide. Without a doubt, there’s no way Guyanese could be pleased.
We are seeing a dog-eat-dog situation obtaining. Instead of us coming together and working for solutions to ease ourselves away from the various disaster facing us, we are instead adding fuel to the proverbial fire.
Guyanese are hard-working people, but money is not circulating; sellers are using the floods to inhumanely increase the prices of their products; presumptuous people are defying the laws of the land to host events and parties, to encourage gatherings which makes it possible for the COVID-19 virus to spread, and when the authorities act, it becomes an issue.
Finally, Editor, looking at the condition of vehicles in the aftermath of those accidents, it is remarkable that people survive some of those accidents. Many have asked how come the vehicle in the recent accident at Stewartville split. It’s no secret that, to beat the taxation system in Guyana, many people would ‘chop/cut’ a good car/vehicle in two, and ship it to Guyana either by and to various people to eliminate trace, and then a body shop would weld the two parts back together. Again, in most cases, for cheaper service, they would go to places where that type of service doesn’t cost too much, and in reality, those doing the work are not properly trained to do that kind of welding.
In addition, used tyres are very prevalent in Guyana, although they are condemned in other countries, which deem them unsafe. So, when a mishap occurs, they malfunction, causing an additional burden to the drivers. My main concern is that, knowing so many accidents are occurring, drivers are still getting involved in accidents. Are supernatural forces taking control of their vehicles?

Sincerely,
Sahadeo Bates
