How To Drive In Trinidad


1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Trini driver never uses them, besides if you do, then the driver on the lane on which you are trying to get in front of will just accelerate to not let you get in. 
                                      




2. Under no circumstance should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation and also delaying you to your destination.



3. The faster you drive through a red light, the lesser the chance you have of getting hit.

     


4. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will result in you being rear-ended.


                                      

5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork, especially someone with no insurance ...the other guy doesn't have anything to lose.


6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.

 

7. Never pass on the right when you can pass on the left . It's a good way to prepare for people entering the highway.                                       


8. Speed limits are arbitrary numbers, given only as a suggestion and are apparently not enforceable in T&T.


9. Just because you're in the right lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a Trini driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.

 


10. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim.
                                      


11. Learn to swerve abruptly. Trinidad is the home of high-speed slalom driving.

12. It is traditional in Trini to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light turns green. Even though you are at risk of getting shot by the driver in front of you if you do this. Psst....you may be at similar risk from the driver behind if you don't.


                                      

13. Remember that the goal of every Trini driver is to get there first by whatever means necessary.

 



14.  'Flipping someone the bird' is considered a polite salute. This gesture should always be returned.




THANK YOU & HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY
