| And with Castillo being the 7th person to die in less than a week from a motorcycle accident, we asked the Home Affairs Minister if there is enough enforcement in place to prevent these incidents. He said that at a certain point, it stops being the responsibility of the traffic cops, and starts being the driver's fault.
Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs
"I think at some point we have to take personal responsibility, I'm sure the Ministry of Transport, the highway patrols, all of them are taking serious note of what is happening, especially when it comes to motorcycles, we've seen an increase number of cases of fatalities and so that is definitely on the Ministry of Transport's radar, it's definitely on the police's radar, but at the end of the day, we can ticket only so much, at the end of the day, you're the one behind the cycle, you're the one driving at high speeds, you have to take better care."
