    I was out there today and couldn't figure out why so many people were driving so fast and not staying in their lanes. Heading East, coming around a curve from Paraquita to Fat Hogs Bay, I had to jam on breaks because some fool was passing a car on the curve and if I didn't stop, we would have had a head on collision. This was so unnecessary to be speeding and in the wrong lane. I made it safely home where I will stay until tomorrow. WHEW!

    I could bet that white car is a right hand drive. If so; government need to bann those vehicle being imported here. Some of those very drivers always in the middle of the road and heading fast. Stay jn your lane, sick of right hand drive vehicles.

      @ Oh My, you're an idiot. 99% of the accidents are left hand drivers.

      Both cars are left hand drive for your information. The white car is an Acura TL. LEFT HAND DRIVE. The Gray vehicle is a Mazda CX-5. Also a LEFT HAND DRIVE.

      The white car is actually a left hand drive vehicle. Right hand drive is the correct vehicles to be driven here. Simply because we drive on the left hand side of the road.

    You just couldn’t help yourself. Some People in left hand drive cars Don’t hold there side either. And that’s on a road with a yellow center line. And it’s two left hand drive cars

    Life in the fast lane is like the vida loco in PR. Just own 2 or 3 identical race cars like the pro racing teams: 1 in the fast lane, 1 entering the repair shop and 1 leaving the repair shop. Buena suerte

    I thought they said only right-hand drive owners can't hold their side of the road

    Driving in BVI is an absolute nightmare. It always amazes me how people would rather swing into your lane and slam head on into you to avoid potholes on their side of the road. May God help us all.
