Why do the RBPF need to make such a noise when escorting a dignitary?

Sirens, note plural more than one blasting.... Surely two outriders should be sufficient out front maybe one in advance and one behind and no sirens. Just came back from London....did the usual Buckingham Palace, saw royals come and go.- Commissioner, not a siren blasting...so organised that every motorist knew to see an outrider in their smart deglo uniform better get out of the way. Can't we do the same?

Speed of entourage driving? Has the Road Traffic Act been amended so these convoys may break the usual speed limit? Haven't seen the Gazette advising, so please stay within the speed limits. That's why the dignitaries are assigned RBPF Traffic outriders.

Oh well, speeding up and down blasting sirens will all be over Friday of next week, but really all so unnecessary….see sometimes now they add vehicle after vehicle and even an ambulance.....copying the US President....let’s get real, please. So for the majority, about 95per cent, these CARICOM meetings mean absolutely nothing....we will see and hear a lot of political spin — the Drs are going to be working over time...historic...etc, etc... see PM Canada coming that's something to look for.

Hope our flags are trim and clean and bright colours. Friday past OPM the same dingy faded Bahamas national flag was still flying. Shame!
