Many in the Bahamas are driving like lunatics and there is absolutely nothing being done by police to pull over dangerous drivers. There is also an upturn in driving while under the influence of booze combined with weed or whatever. If fellow drivers and pedestrians can observe this on a daily basis it is amazing that our RBPF is unfazed. It is definitely The People's Time!
