@ Daniel Vella

Most crashes in Malta are due to driver ignorance, driver inexperience, lack of judgement, but most of all, bad handling cars (yes you can still see that wretched skoda 120 on the roads) and worn out tyres (aka slick tryes). And because of this we are going to end up having speed cameras in every corner of the country limited to a crawling speed.

@Daniel Vella- judging by the amount of damage inflicted upon this car, the road is the least culprit to be blamed.

Isn't it time something was done about this road? A similar accident a few months ago, killed a young man. The surface of this road needs urgent reviving as it is particularly slippery on rainy days. If a car looses traction, there is no other way but to crash into the trees on the side. In this day and age one cannot understand how such a road, without crash barriers along the promenade is permitted. A crash barrier would surely make the road safer both for drivers and to prevent pedestrians from crossing the road irregularly. Wanting to see something positive, this couple could have ended much worse if there wasn't the pole and trees to stop them as the next stage was the sea.
