Dear Editor,
It gives me great pleasure to write congratulating the Guyana Police Force Traffic Department for what I would consider a fantastic job in controlling the heavy traffic coming from the West Bank crossing the antique Demerara Harbour Bridge heading east into Georgetown. I salute our officers who would normally brave the morning sun and attentively direct the flow of traffic. It is not easy to stand and witness some unscrupulous behaviour by primarily minibus drivers and just use your hands to correct them.
Against this backdrop I would like to gently suggest to the Traffic Chief that officers rather than using their hands to signal minibus drivers when they are boring the line going over the Harbour Bridge or pompously pushing themselves in front of careful, courteous, cautious, considerate and common sense drivers, they should use their hands to write a charge against these bus drivers for dangerous driving.
Editor, it is most disgusting at times when you are a driver heading to work in the line and a bus driver just sways in front of you coming from God knows where and a police officer is right there standing with his hands doing the talking.
In closing, I hope my recommendation will be considered and hopefully implemented as early as tomorrow. It will surely help to bring discipline on the roadway.
Yours faithfully,
Ganesh Mahipaul
