Accident de La Route
January 18, 2007 
Hi to u all, i do hope that you have heard and read about the accident at Montagne Longue. The article appeared on L’Express of 15th January 2007:
However, let me explain something to you:
All people in the accident are my neighbours(except for Sabeyroon)…
Today(18/01/2007), Firdose-the 19yr Old married woman breath out her last breath at around 8am leaving a baby of 18months and a husband to struggle for a longer life withour her…
There is still the little girl of 10yrs who is struggling for life… She is still in comma and under artificial breathing at the ICU of Jeetoo Hospital…
Miracle: The baby of 1 1/2yrs(whose mum died today) was thrown out of the car without any ‘egratignures’ but he is always crying and is not able to live with anyone at home(not even his dad)…
Fadilah-The 16yr old girl has dislocated arms and feet… Hossen came out of the coma 2 days back, Surma has a dislocated arm and stil under shock…Moonera is stil recuperating…
How many lives do we still have to lose on the road for people to become responsible drivers on the road???
This is a very sad case but still, just think of this small boy of 18months who will never ever see his mother in his life? who is crying out loud for his mother, day and night? and the husband who will have to explain to his son how his mother died?
Updated fact: Noushrina: The 10Year Old girl, who was in ‘coma’ since last saturday, breathed out this sunday 21/01/2007 at the ISCU of Jeetoo Hospital…
People in Mauritius drive like a nut. Drivers are rude. Actually once I was walking in PL by my aunt’s house and there was a tourist who had rented a car and was at the intersection (which is a bit difficult b/c it’s a wierd five way), being a tourist and all he was a bit abreeychi. The taxi driver and other cars beep like a bunch of morons, the taxi driver stops in front of the poor tourist and savagely curses the tourist and then drives off. People on the motorways and normal roads need to slow down. There’s a lot of DWI in Mauritius too. The cops need to stop sleeping whenever you pass by them on the motorway. Plus I haven’t looked into it but what are the penal consequences of such craziness. Three main issues here for a while now.
Deterrence: are people being punished enough ?
Surveillance: are people being caught?
Enforcement: are they prosecuting people enough ( you can’t have enforcement without catching them first).
