Driving Tip: Right is Wrong;
Drive on the LEFT side of the road
When renting a motor vehicle remember always to drive on the left. Though it
takes some getting to used to (particularly when you are driving down deserted
roads in the family islands) accidents are rare.
Also remember that a percentage of Bahamian drivers drive very badly. It
seems the latest fad is to stop in the middle of the road to talk to your friend
who is walking down the street, or to stop in your lane to talk to the person in
the opposing lane, rather then driving onto the side of the road. Also watch out
for reckless drivers, who are unable to use signals when they cut me--I mean
you--off. Also let us not forget the a guy who quickly turns into
the lane you driving on who then slows down once he
gets in front of you. Sigh.
Lastly, when you are about to drive across a pedestrian crossing a Bahamian will run to the curb to cross the street, and a few will slow down
as they cross the street. I have no clue why people do this--well I do but that
is a "gansta"-BET story.
Lastly, look out for tourists who do not look both ways when crossing
the street! Tourists have died because they think the cars are
driving on the right, and so only look one way--the wrong way--when they
cross.
So take your time, and be careful.
Look to your RIGHT (if not both ways)
when crossing
Since we drive on the left in the Bahamas, be extra careful that you look right
when you are crossing a road. Many a tourist has unfortunately attempted to
cross roads without looking in the direction a car is coming from--their right.
Even better--look both ways.
According to the Bahamas Tourism office the Islands of the Bahamas is
unique with their individual character and charm--and there is some
truth to this.
Visit the main islands like beautiful
Grand Bahama Island (Freeport/Lucaya) and bustling
New Providence (Nassau and Paradise Island).
Or, if you really want to get away from the crowds, visit one of the many out islands like
Abaco,
Andros,
Acklins and Crooked Island,
Biminis,
Berry Islands,
Cat Island,
Eleuthera,
Exumas,
Long Island, Inaguas,
Mayaguana, and
San Salvador.
