Stunt-driving videos prompt concern at firm

Viral videos of motorists performing stunts in the car park of a business have renewed concerns about unsafe driving and trespassing, with the firm at the centre of the videos installing additional surveillance equipment after repeated late-night activity and damage to its building.

Quality Tyre Plus said its Lower Estate, St Michael premises had become a regular weekend gathering place for groups of drivers and spectators, with roaring engines and stunt driving sometimes continuing until near daybreak.

A company spokesman told Barbados TODAY that the situation had become untenable after more than a year of complaints from residents and the business: “It’s been over a year now [that we’ve been] struggling with this, and we’ve put in a lot of surveillance equipment to try and get a person’s information, so that they can be prosecuted.
