The prime minister said that they must not chase why are they still doing it. The driver as innocent people in his car the chase puts even pedestrian in danger
There must be law and regulations. Please stop when police ask you to . Do not speed away ,you are responsible for the lives lost . Stop now you blame the police.blame your self . Abide by the Law,save lives. ❤❤❤❤
Which laws? Seems like laws are only for lower class people. The transport people could have used technology to charge the person, by getting their license plate number- why they couldn’t do that? Let me tell you, the reason is because these authority people are hustling money from these taxi men, they want RAW cash… do you think these people are risking their lives like this & endangering others because they want motorists to follow the law? please… they are all soliciting money from people- i hate this country by the minute

@@elethinds4855 both of them responsible in my opinion. Because if the taxi driver is driving away from transportation authorities I wouldn't think he would be near them due to the traffic of long line. So why driving him down? Unless he was near them and turn around in a sudden. Alot of cars are on the road without even license not even the driver themselves have no learners much less license many of them cannot read they just driving to make a living and also most car needs alot of things too because they are faulty so that's why they will run from them. Look what foolishness and stupidness cause???
I agree with everyone who said that the taxi driver is to blame if he had stopped those poor students would be alive today he should remember that he had passengers in the car 😢😢😢😢
Everyday I say the same thing. Its so sad I am scared many many times because when I see 3:00 pm and my 8 year old doesn't Come from school I call everyone who i know at the school. When they say she is not at the school I just run to the main road and there she is coming. Bwoy I can imagine those parents pain at this point.
I am certain the law was passed that the Transport Authority SHOULD NOT chase any motorists...they used to broadside people slamming them off the road.I have been in taxi that was treated like that.Two wrongs do not make a right.Get the licence number and take it from there.Jamaican laws have teeth only for some people.
Condolences to the families. The taxi drivers casting blame on law enforcement, when the traffic laws were broken. The law enforcement officers in Jamaica need to get more recognition for authority from the people. In the United States if law enforcement signal the vehicle to stop we have to abide by the rules, why is it different in Jamaica.
The transport authority should be prohibited from engaging in vehicle chases. If the driver don't stop some camera would capture the vehicle info. similar to what they use for speeding and issue a warrant for their arrest. So as the vehicle approach the transport worker just points a device at the vehicle that captures plate number ect. and there's no need to chase if the driver doesn't stop.
No. vehicle should stop whenever requested. I can understand the transport authorities decision to chase them. There couldd guns and other illegal item in the vehicle.
@@delonsmith8065Everyone agrees that vehicles should stop, no one is arguing that. However if the vehicle doesn’t stop, chasing it just puts everyone in more risk.
How about cars which are not licensed as public passenger vehicle desist from operating as such? How about drivers who aren't licensed to operate PPV desist from that? What if a car is transporting pure guns, ammo and gunmen to kill a lot of people, you believe taking down license plate number will prevent that? Car can have on false license plate and you cannot trace it back to a rightful owner. Stop blame the law and those who are in authority. That is one of the reason why Jamaica is like this, we blame the law but never the lawbreakers.
That's true but it's easier to take the plate and go for the driver after it's better than killing innocent people in the car the transport authoritie shouldn't chase them as it is now the transport authorities are responsible for the deaths 🤷🏽♂️
@@shironbarnett9463 and every year these same kind of accidents happen and the police and transport authorities keep doing the same thing, the taxi man wrong but that doesn't give the police and transport authority the right to chase and kill innocent people 🤷🏽♂️
Why would the driver be afraid to stop ,when police ask you to stop,now most people blaming the police?A set of unlawful people.The taxi driver is to be charged.
Jamaican don't like to follow the laws, if a police is forcing the laws in some of our town the people take on the police some these people don't know what going on, but they are attacking the police, lots of taximan don't belong on the road how much a ticket can cost, I know it doesn't cost life.
Stop running down the taxi drivers, instead get their license plate and call the police ahead and use the traffic. Blocker or stopper. No one need to die.
Very sad that people send their children to school only for this to happen bcoz of careless buy- licence taxi operators. Condolences to all family grappling with their loss at this very sad time … RIP angels 🙏🏾 I can never understand when government say they renovate different facilities and when you look at the places they appear run down like they are awaiting a major upgrade … then they talk that it cost some whole heap of money 💯s of millions … 🙄 kmt
Omg!!!!!!!!!! These innocent Students left home this morning to go to School to get an education and these careless people no need to run down a full PPV vehicle causing this unfortunate situation. My sincere condolences to their families, the School community and their friends. May their souls rest in perpetual peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My deepest condolences too goes out to the families and friends of these innocent children. However, you need to get the story straight. The driver in question was an illegal taxi operator who refused to stop when requested to do. He was not authorized to be running a PPV taxi. He was later nabbed at the NMIA trying to leave the country this afternoon.
All when them straight the transport authority people a find something to ticket the drivers for. Not saying that the driver should run. He should have stopped
They refuse to fix the damned roads and have transport a run ppl down .... What is this country gone to ..... ppl just hate taxi men so they won't be in solidarity with them and have this madness stop
Listen to me. I agree with all unuh seh that cause accident BUT unuh need to fix the potholes on the roads. Because in Portmore, McCook pen an nuff other places, it's terrible and people weh nuh know the pothole swing from them and end up in ditches or worst. Fix the road bro!!
When law enforcement want you to pull over, why do taxi think they shouldn't obey? Those children are dead because TAXI DRIVER thinks he above the law.
T.A dont need to chase a public passenger vehicle for a traffic breach, there are ways to deal with these suspected offenders. The death of these 2 student is a very sad outcome, i felt their family grieve.
Transport authority fi stop run-down vehicle Take picture of license plate.All this could be prevented reckless on the taxi driver and transport authority too
I’ve been putting off going to Jamaica for years. I’m Jamaican but left long ago. Every year I come up with some excuse why I can’t go. Mi fraud yu si.
The government is to be blamed for facilitating this unlawful taxi service. No bus , no train no cycling network. They soley focus on priviating transport in order to maximise profit. Currently student in Clarendon dont have no alternative. That the sad reality.
Its just sad that those children lost their lives, but If the driver was operating legally and knew that he is not a criminal he should have just stopped and spoke to police
The taximan is so wrong,if they stop you why do you run, some of these taximen are too unruly no matter how you talk it dosen't make any sense and now they playing the blame game.Its so so sad😢😢😢
Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that taxi drivers should be held accountable. With the knowledge that the transport authorities would pursue him, it would have been prudent to discourage irresponsible driving and encourage him to adhere to traffic laws, thereby preventing the loss of two precious lives. Nevertheless, these high-speed pursuits are inherently hazardous, and they have the potential to result in accidents and injuries for others. This chase had exacerbated the situation, prompting the taxi driver to drive more recklessly and despair. Conversely, was this high-speed pursuit justified by a minor traffic violation? Was it a trivial infraction or a serious offense that endangered others? Was the pursuit taking place on a relatively vacant road or in a densely populated area? Was the motorist exhibiting evidence of aggression or attempting to evade authorities? What are the transportation authority's regulations regarding high-speed pursuits? Ultimately, the decision to pursue should be made after a thorough evaluation of the risks and benefits, with a focus on the safety of all parties. Whenever feasible, it is advisable to evaluate alternatives to a high-speed pursuit. The offense may be outweighed by the potential consequences. I do believe that the authorities could use the taxi's license plate number to issue a citation at a later time, thereby averting a hazardous pursuit. My condolences to the families.
Here in U.S. cameras run the streets. Cameras are EVERYWHERE. No cops needed.. tickets appear at your mailbox without a single policeman around. It's ridiculous but this may be coming to jamaica
It's not just the driver fault. How can you be chasing a vehicle full of children? let him go you can get him another time. Both the driver and those who were chasing him should go to prison
No one needs to run/drive away. If your stop, obey and stop.
It is tough. Do not drive with people in your car in haste. Just stop.
Why is it they feel they have to chase you.
Because they run,if they stop you and you run what you expect@@sashagayewilliams3813

It is so sad in Jamaica no one respects each other. It is a crime country
And all because most of them are lack of respect for each other
😮
True. But transport authority nuh have no powers fi chase vehicle.
@@Sidewinder5exactly !!!
True
My thoughts exactly, everybody talking about dem running down vehicle, he was the one in the wrong and them blaming authority
If you would follow the rules, they would not have to run you down like you claim. Why blame transport authority? Why run, if you are straight?
My question that too... Smh... No accountability kmt
Because he wasn't straight. The Subaru driver was the one being chased, not the pro box.
The taxi driver is wrong,, but the transport authority personnel is also wrong and both should be charged
Bet you no see them pon news when gun man k:ll dem only law enforcement dem have strength fah
I agree with everyone who said that the taxi driver is to blame if he had stopped those poor students would be alive today he should remember that he had passengers in the car 😢😢😢😢
So why was the taxi person fleeing?! Look how things ended up? Children dead! Whatever infractions he had before, he's now in even deeper trouble!
Smh … tired of the wrecklesness
Exactly
Too many irresponsible taxi operators, the police say stop, just stop. Other people's lives are in your hands
I'm afraid of those taxies. Horrible experience, the speeding frightening.
Period
I pray God strengthen and comfort those parents who lost their children
Imagine sending your children to school and then hearing that they have died. So sad.
Everyday I say the same thing. Its so sad I am scared many many times because when I see 3:00 pm and my 8 year old doesn't Come from school I call everyone who i know at the school.

😢😢
Ikr as a parent I feel it to my ❤
That’s why we should pray for our kids before sending them to school
Transaction authority did it
It's very alarming how we assess situations. Man trying to evade the law gets into an accident and the lawmen are the culprits. We see backwards.
The taxi operator is the cause but the authorities should not have chased him, that just makes the situation worse
I am certain the law was passed that the Transport Authority SHOULD NOT chase any motorists...they used to broadside people slamming them off the road.I have been in taxi that was treated like that.Two wrongs do not make a right.Get the licence number and take it from there.Jamaican laws have teeth only for some people.

EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT LAW BREAKING WHEN THE GREATEST LAW BREAKERS ARE THE LAWMAKERS WHO BREAK LAW LIKE THESE IDIOTS CALLED POLICE
They need to bring back the bus system everywhere in Jamaica and stop with this foolish and irresponsible taxi transportation
Sincere condolences to the family and other love ones 🙏🙏🙏 of these youngers. This is so unfortunate and could be avoided 😭😭
😢
And these Mark X drivers! Many of them feel invincible in these cars! So many crashes have a Mark X as the common denominator.
Good afternoon thanks you for taking the news to us .
They are too damn lawless stricter laws and rules need to be implicated and carry out enough now
Why them a run
This makes my heart bleed, I can't even begin to imagine the parents grief , suffering and sadness, a sad situation.

Unless our motorists changes their behavior pattern on the roads,road crashes and fatalities won't stop.
Question, What Authority in Law the Transport Authority have to Persue a motorist if they do nit stop when signal to stop.
most drivers in jamaica drive erratic and crazy. Some have no experience , license or insurance!! Lawless set of people !!
They don't want to take action for their behavior they are blaming the transport attorney why is he running
Why the transport authority Dem never stop an assist the kids Dem
He was probably running from them because he didn’t have any money to give them
O my god terrible times
Stop running down the cars with passengers in it the road them is bad the cars can't stay in good conditions
Whataboutism. How bad roads come into this.
Fled from the scene of an accident and tried to flee the island. That's what this lawless fool did.
Pastor a talk truth

Jeez Mi fi feel bad fi dem
Police should take the license plate number. Then go to the tax office and see who the car is registered to and take it from there.
These people are so arrogant. Instead of asking why the authority a run down people far, ask the people wah dem a run fah? Stop when asked to stop.
Better him face the transport authority..it dont work...that man should say why him didnt stop
The police have the most illegal taxi on the road of jamaica
That give him no excuse not to stop
Police having illegal taxes mean what
Donald Trump will and can normalized anything that bad.
My condolences to the families of those two boys. Sad indeed it's heartbreaking.
It was the taxi driver's fault. If he had obeyed the order to stop, the situation would have been different.
Taxi drivers need to get their vehicles up to date so they do not have to be running from Transport authority simple.
All when them straight the transport authority people a find something to ticket the drivers for. Not saying that the driver should run. He should have stopped
The transport authority should be held responsible
He should have stop .. also the transport authority need not to be chasing down no one .. take the plate # down then take it from there .
They prefer to run and drive reckless and risking people lives than to stop and take the ticket
Bad roads.

so u support reckless taxi drivings...most of them drive reckless. plus why are they running if they are legal
No, they don’t hate taxi mon, dem idiot taxi mon no have sense, pon de wrong side of the road anytime of the day, just has to STOP 🛑
