Road rules according to Trinis

THE EDITOR: Why is it that Trinidadians drive so fast on the roads? I get into my car, I put on my seatbelt and I drive out of my driveway and that is when the madness begins. First of all, I go over the humps in my community very slowly as that is what humps are there for, and I get the motorist behind me right on my backside ... Then I follow the rule of the road which says please stay within the speed limit and I get the fella with his hand hanging out of his window trying to pass me fast, fast and ‘ah gettin’ one set of cut eye, blowing horn, and flashing lights because I drivin’ too slow.

Yuh see me, I ent’ taking’ dem on? Do they have on they seatbelts? I have observed that nine out of ten drivers on the road do not wear their seatbelts. Also, are they obeying the speed limit? It is time for law-abiding citizens to say enough is enough and we are not going to take it any longer .
