How To Drive In Trinidad %26amp; Tobago - (The Revised Manual) ) 1.
Turn
%26gt;signals will give away your next move. A real Trini driver never uses
them,
%26gt;besides if you do the driver on the lane on which you are trying to
get in
%26gt;front of will just accelerate to not let you get in. 2. Under no
%26gt;circumstance should you leave a safe distance between you and the car
in
%26gt;front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else, putting
you
%26gt;in an even more dangerous situation and also delaying you to your
%26gt;destination. 3. The faster you drive through a red light, the lesser
the
%26gt;chance you have of getting hit. 4. Never, ever come to a complete
stop at
%26gt;a stop sign. No one expects it and it will result in you being
rear-ended.
%26gt;5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork,
%26gt;especially someone with no insurance ...the other guy doesn't have
anything
%26gt;to lose. 6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to
ensure
%26gt;that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the
brake
%26gt;pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch
your
%26gt;legs. 7. Never pass on the right when you can pass on the left .
It's a
%26gt;good way to prepare for people entering the highway. 8. Speed limits
are
%26gt;arbitrary numbers, given only as a suggestion and are apparently not
%26gt;enforceable in T%26amp;T. 9. Just because you're in the right lane and have
no
%26gt;room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a Trini driver
flashing his
%26gt;high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.
10.
%26gt;Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even
someone
%26gt;changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim.
11.
%26gt;Learn to swerve abruptly. Trinidad is the home of high-speed slalom
%26gt;driving. %26gt; 12. It is traditional in Trini to honk your horn at cars
that
%26gt;don't move the instant the light turns green. Even though you are at
risk
%26gt;of getting shot by the driver in front of you if you do this.
Psst....you
%26gt;may be at similar risk from the driver behind if you don't. 13.
Remember
%26gt;that the goal of every Trini driver is to get there first by whatever
means
%26gt;necessary. 14. 'Flipping someone the bird' is considered a polite
salute.
%26gt;This gesture should always be returned. THANK YOU %26amp; HAVE A SAFE
JOURNEYCan you drive in Trinidad?

Girl you sure know Trinis driving skills! I actually hate to drive in Trinidad and love to drive in Tobago!
When I was getting my lisence - all I was wishing for was rain to fall so I won't have to use no hand signals.
I must also say Trini hand signals is not what I learnt in the manual - they develop they own ting! Oh and yellow or amber lights means speed up!!!!
And once yuh could drive in Trinidad - yuh could drive anywhere in the world!
dis is why ah eh have meh license yet.........AH FRAID!!!!
yuh forget tuh add
15. Use de shoulder once the other lanes are occupied
That sums it up quite nicely.
By d way, where allyuh does come up wit these tings? Allyuh does jus siddong an try to tink up s*** to make people crack up or what?
