Now we know how they raise some of "their " money.LOL That's an insane method for sure!!
There are a few fender benders here, like everywhere. Most of the accidents involve either a tourist hitting a local person or someone new to the island, ie military. You don't see/hear of any firey crashes, if that's what you mean. The max speed on the roads here is 45 and that's only on one stretch of road for about 3 miles. The rest of the speed limit is 35 or below. The roads here are HORRIBLE! Full of holes, potholes, bumps, lumps, you name it. But, that doesn't mean that people don't speed where they can.
Many of the roads here do not have sidewalks. Sidewalks are on the roads in the main part of the island...touristy area. There's always someone running/jogging along the roads, so you have to slow down to go around them if there's no where for them to run. Can't run on the grass, you don't know what is there, could be a dead animal, which there are lots of. Drove by a giant monitor lizard that someone ran over today. Horrible!
Ellie....the government here is just so corrupt, it's horrid!
