:Like I said on my post; Someone will come up with the one in a million case where it may have been a benefit for nor wearing a seat belt. As to your post were you driving a boat? I see you stated the officer expected the diver to be dead. Nope. That was a typo I didn't catch. Driver not diver.

According to today's Daily Herald, the driver will be charged. LinkAnd, not that it really matters, the paper today says it was a young man.

They do, yes. Not sure why the person wasn't tested. Carol I just re read the 2nd paragraph in the newspaper link you posted. Am I reading it wrong?

Sorry, I missed that. They were talking about the minister who was involved in an alcohol related accident, having been given a test, which was a blood test, so I got it mixed up.

Latest on breathalyzer from the prosecutors office.
Openbaar Ministerie Sint Maarten/ Public Prosecutor's Office Sint Maarten 19 mins · Clarification:
The Public Prosecutor’s Office would like to clarify a misunderstanding pertaining to the release of the young man following the fatal road accident on A.J.C. Brouwer Road on Saturday morning, January 12, 2019. There is no stipulation in the law that asserts that a test of blood or breath can be carried out subsequently, even if the driver was involved in an accident or if there is suspicion that the driver is under the influence. If a driver wants to prove that he/she is not under the influence he/she can volunteer to do a blood test.

So sort of Guilty until proven innocent if the offender wants to do that
