Government Takes Action on Motorised Bicycle and Scooter Safety
By Cory Wayland
The Government of Antigua and Barbuda is reviewing measures to address growing concerns about motorised bicycles and scooters, following a reported rise in accidents and traffic disruptions.
The Minister responsible for Public Safety recently convened a meeting with the Police High Command, the Ministry of Legal Affairs’ drafting team, and other key stakeholders to examine the issue. The discussions focused on how to protect the public while ensuring that law enforcement can manage traffic safely and effectively.
The stakeholder group will develop recommendations, including potential legislative measures, to address the concerns of both riders and the wider community. The Minister will then present the proposed actions to Cabinet for approval.
Officials emphasized that the initiative is part of the Government’s ongoing commitment to road safety and protecting citizens, while promoting responsible use of emerging transport options.

Obviously not even the police know that there are laws already on the books.
ENFORCE THE LAWS and end all the beauracracy.
