    He actually almost slammed into me in this morning. I had to swerve off the road to avoid being hit. Seems like he may have been drunk.

    Biggest road problems here in BVI is drivers speeding, tailgating and overtaking without good sense. Its not a drinking problem.

    These are often attempts to show off, but the results only prove that these drivers are mentally unfit to drive.
