KINGSTON, Jamaica — Changing the culture around motorcycle use, particularly among young men, is identified as critical to reducing unsafe riding practices and road fatalities in Jamaica.
For her part, General Manager of JN Foundation Claudine Allen tells JIS News that she believes the issue goes beyond compliance with traffic laws and requires an examination of the social influences that shape the behaviour of young men.
“The behaviour of our young men, including motorcycle drivers, is really indicative of certain other social issues that we have, how we raise our young boys to take risks,” she says.
