Updated: Woman injured in second serious accident in 12 hours

In the same way as the exhaust emmissions reporting system works, we need to have a system which reports careless/reckless driving confidentially via sms. I have witnessed extremely dangerous driving at extreme speeds on two occasions this month. Both cases went unnoticed to law enforcers even if both could have had serious consequences to passers by, other vehicles, properties etc. One of them occured in Psaila street on Saturday afternoon, where my car literally shook just as if there was a one second tremor due to the speed of the black sports car which passed by. These reckless drivers are surely repetitively reckless, everywhere they go, so they are more prone to being tracked down if the public co-operates in such a reporting system.

The time of the accident indicates that it was still pre dawn (at 4.15 am by the sun); so the first question comes to mind; did the vehicle have the lights on and while it was manouevring to enter the Cassar Company garage, did it have the hazard lights on? It has been reported that the driver was being guided while he was reversing the huge vehicle and turning it through 90 degrees: was the person/s who were guiding the vehicle's driver equipped with powerful flashlights to attract the attention of vehicles coming up the road at an average speed of 60/70 kph? And was there another person down the road flashing lights to make upcoming traffic slow down because of the truck's manouevre?

Never mind the policeman. I am not supposed to assume anything from a picture, as my profession dictates (Health and safety). The real lacking is the fact that as usual, there was no investigation on the part of whoever wrote the article, so we are left with the bare statistics.

However, in an attempt to look beyond the immediate picture, it seems that the officers are probably standing out of the way of what seems to be a tow truck, which is what happens in these circumstances.

What really annoys me is that there seems to be no roadguard vests worn by anybody, and there are no markings on the road, as is usual from an accident investigation, and no barier tape.

It seems that the truck is blocking both carriageways. So, where there any flagmen slowing down traffic. when the obstruction was caused, or was it the usual laissez faire attitude adopted by a lot of people on our dear islands, and the procedure was done without any job safety analysis being done. If this is the case, the company, owning the truck, is culpable of negligence under the health and safety act, and should be prosecuted.

Classic pic.. could be used for the beatles music video !
besides the obvious connotation to the beatles song "a day in the life", we have Pretty policeman standing in a row, from "I Am the Walrus" ..
