A law has to be passed that powerful motorbikes cannot be driven after 30 years of age. Condolences to the family for this tragic accident. In the meantime we will see another makeshift remembrance at the roadside for this young man.

Mewta ohra fil-vojt. Dawn it-toroq jigifieri il-Coast road, Regional Road, Hal Far , B'Kara By Pass, St Paul's By pass u ohrajn qed jservu biex dawn id-dilettanti tal-muturi jkunu jistghu jisvogaw fid-delizzju taghhom Bil-konsegwenzi fatali li issa drajna nisimawhom. U jien nistaqsi, iva lanqas tara pulizija tat-traffiku wiehed ? Xejn propju xejn. Dawn mhumiex ahbarijiet li jien qed nghid ghax specjalment nhar ta' Hadd Malta ssir qiesa Silverstone jew Monza.

God bless his soul. But, has he been driving in the center of the road, as all bikers do ? Has the car, also been driving in the middle of the road ? We all drive in the middle of the road, and that is why many accident happens. To make matters worse, the authorities are making signs, like "SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC KEEP TO THE LEFT" This is ridiculous ! There is no slow or fast moving traffic ! Everyone should drive on the LEFT side of the road, or else, change the highway code !!!!!!
