I cannot hold myself back and not comment although I feel that it is in vain for I have not witnessed any change in safety or otherwise.
I invite anyone in authority to go for a ride on a quad bike to see how hard it is to manage such a death trap. I could go on for longer but I ask the tourist chamber if they do not realise the bad effect on future tourists!
How many Portuguese, family and friends, colleagues and whole towns would change their holiday destination and not venture to this unsafe, dangerous Islands where people die or get hurt while trying to have some fun.
