I am undecided on this. On the one hand, we've all done daft stuff when young...I remember skateboarding down a steep hill and across roads when young...and I certainly have sympathy for this guy...on the other hand, I was driving in this area a few days before this incident and saw three people doing something similar while abreast of each other...they might even have been the same people. And yes, I did curse a bit when they cut me up in my little car with my little baby inside...
It is very worrying to see these roller skiers on the main roads. I have seen them on two occasions on the road between Inca and Caimari amongst all the usual traffic. They are not proper road vehicles and are exposing themselves to danger.
Totally agree with those below. What if a driver had to swerve and killed an innocent bystander. Those that voted thumbs down to these comments would soon change their tune. But that's the problem today too many do-gooders and PC, and no common sense.
I totally agree with you John I had a good laugh and he will probably won't do it a second time Also some of those so called tourists race on seafront promenades incl Segways type of machines
No sympathy for the "roller-skier" at all, they absolutely should not be on the roads. My sympathies are with the other drivers involved. The same with the racing cyclists and their antics on our roads, wer'e sick to the teeth with it.
