Do all the good you can, by all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can. That’s the John Wesley.

So where I am going down a “ hair pin” corner that takes me in the opposite direction I should put on my indicator ?

As one who has had similar issues I consulted AI which says ; RTA 2018 and accompanying RTR 2022 the Law requires Mandatory indicator use prior to and while making any directional change , without exception for designated lanes or traffic signal displays . Amendment may be needed

So where:- 1. To continue straight along Pechon Street is an offense 2. To go right along Barry Street is breaking a one way My only lawful option is to enter Darling Street by turning left , when I do so I get a “ Darling “ ticket for failing to indicate my only option ??

You are right !! If I proceeded along Pechon Street it would be a disobedience offense So failing in to indicate that I will not commit that offense, I have landed another offense? Since I can only go left, who am I indicating to that I will not disobey the prohibition?

You commit an offence, by failing to indicate your intent to not commit another traffic offence. It’s the new gotcha!

CORRECTION !! Travelled north along Pechon street , obeyed stop sign , turned left onto Darling street on my way to The Coronation Market. stoped by police , failed to indicate that I was going left. No offense officer Not with ‘no entry’ at that point on Pechon street !!

Lawyers successfully protest removal of trial by jury in England. This is a lesson to all those :- 1. who want Jamaica to abandon trial by jury, including our learned Chief Justice ; and 2. Those who opposed lawyers who marched for more just sentences for imitation firearms.

The Prime Minister is a member of the King's Privy Council, why didn't he send the petition with his signature?

Good talk MekieDoll I won’t smear the call of my Ancestors to respond to divisive party politics on this Petition issue My Great Grandfather Edward Samuels was enslaved . As a trained lawyer I am committed to fighting for him and all else who suffered unrewarded during slavery

Excellent points by @BertSamuels If the enslavers were compensated then why must a petition by us who are the descendants of the enslaved be frowned upon? Many say “just let it go” but I disagree. It is right for us to get reparations too, just as they deemed it right for the enslavers to be compensated for their ‘losses’
