Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"The truth is, police and transport has been on top of this. When you travel west, you see a number of checkpoints, you see the national transport patrolling the highways. Enforcement is there, making sure people wear helmets, but somehow those motorcycle riders don't get it. They just don't get it. Yesterday evening I almost knocked one down. Pulled right out of a feeder road, right onto the highway without looking left nor right. But for me, I always drive with the mindset that there are those reckless drivers so when I see a driver ahead of me, I always try my best to anticipate his or her movements. So I drive defensively. We see instances where we know the road is divided into two, and a motorcycle is entitled to half of the road so even though it's a motorcycle, they're still entitled to half of the road so where the line is at the middle of the road to the other end of the road that the motorcycle is on belongs to the motorcycle. The other half is for the vehicle that may be traveling either same or opposite direction, whether they are overtaking or not. But I like to say to motorcycle rider, not just because you're entitled to half of the road, you must ride at the middle of the road. Some of them, they ride smack middle of the road, like almost on that yellow line. Ride to the middle of your side of the road, would make more sense. Remember it's your safety and bear in mind that we do have drivers who have no regards to motorcycle riders which should not be. But you have to ride the motorcycle with that in mind."

"And I always tell my driver, when I do use one, even if you have the right of way, stop, because when you crash and you dead, God won't tell you, you had the right of way so I will send you back to earth. Having the right of way will not keep you on earth longer at all."
