And while that race went off without any accidents, road traffic accidents are still a major problem on Belize's highways, with many losing their lives. But come next year, the Minister says he has big plans for a driving school in Belize. Here's what he told us.
Reporter:
"In terms of the increase in motorcycle accidents, is the ministry planning on maybe educating the public on the safeties and dangers…"
Rodwell Ferguson, Minister of Youth, Sports & Transport
"Well first of all, we're going to create a driving school, so I just sanctioned by the CTO that I want to see it become effective maybe by March that when you want a license, you must go to a driving school in this country, when you want to go to another level, you must go to a driving school."
No word yet on whether Compol Chester will be teaching the class on what to do when you see those bold double yellow lines on the highway.
