- Driving in Jamaica is not for foreigners because you need to understand the driving culture to know how to drive without having an accident. Sometimes it is better to hire someone to drive if you dont have a lot of driving experience
Driving in Mandeville Jamaica, Manchester Road to Jamaica National Building Society
Thank you. Mandeville is my favorite Jamaican town. I went to boarding school there. I would walk into town every weekend, with friends, to purchase little "nonsence gifts" for my boyfriend. Sometimes I would run into him, buying flowers for me. He would hide them behind his back. Mandeville had the most beautiful flowers on the planet, sold in the market place on weekends.
Buen trabajo! Totalmente de acuerdo contigo.
I know that road. That secion of Manchester Road used to be a one way going in the opposite direction up to Grove Rd.
looks like a day out in Dalston london
Driving in Jamaica is def not for foreigners....but I like the thrill. It's not safe though. In my 3rd year driving I entered the highway on the wrong side of traffic and by God's grace there was no cars/trucks coming. The scenic drive on the North Coast is beautiful tho. Another great drive is the Portland coastline...kinda like heaven :)
unless u driven in africa
Watch signs and learn which side of the road we drive on a'ight!
Ya mon Portland used to be slower but it's still nice
Wow!! what is scary is I walked those same streets going to St Paul "Father" school in 1970 - 71.
The dude in the red shirt on the phone scared the heck out of me walking in the street like he did.
I'm about to retire soon for sure will be hiring a driver when I go there.
Thanks for the great memories and vids, Walinton. I must see you when I come. looking forward to it.
+ebutuoy406 I hope to see you soon. I would like to meet you too. I hope I am one of the drivers that you will hire. Have a blessed day!
10 minutes of bumper-to-bumper traffic…looks tough...
I'm not a scary person but I think the only way I'd drive myself in Jamaica with those crazy drivers & people walking all in the streets is if I had a highway snow plough with a train horn so when I come through they can't say they didn't hear my warning!!!
I drove all over JA when I was there an absolutely loved it. Although there are a lot of careless drivers.
Omarion14able your first time?
good stuff men
I am from NYC...I drove in Jamaica for the first time...People out there have no regard for safety..They don't care who they cut off and or hit...LoL...
+CJ Felder I have travelled to Thailand for 11 times in the past 8 years. It's my favourite country in the world to travel. Thailand has the same socio-economic status as Jamaica (nevermind the land space), and yet the roads national scenic roads and secondary highways in Thailand are literally better than the roads in Jamaica (disregarding the 2000 highway). This has nothing to do with the fact that Thailand has more land than Jamaica, it's just that the roads in Thailand are much better, but like Jamaica you will still find people disregarding safety on the roads. (Thaland also drives on the left like Jamaica). I know because I drove in Thailand and there were two instances when Thai motorists overtook me in a way that was unsafe, all I did was stay in my lane. I know that I can do the same when I go to Jamaica in two weeks from now (I reserved a rental car in Montego Bay). But when I go to Jamaica I will not drive on any B-class roads unless I have to.
%85 of their roads are B class...LoL
Ikr. I've never been to Jamaica but known people from there, seen documentaries and read a lot of stuff. In all these driving videos of Jamaica this is how it is. I like Jamaica and I love the accent but wow how they drive is atrocious. In every video there is a million people in the street like they don't care people are driving. It's the same when you drive a bunch of cars fly and I mean fly right by you. To boot there is cops just standing there doing nothing. Here in the States that stuff don't fly. The cops will be called in a heartbeat on your butt.
leonkennedy1259 you have to understand how people use the roads....hardly anyone gets hit from walking in the road....accidents between vehicles...now that's a different matter but these mostly occur because of stupid speed and overtaking
Its in. U SA too its alk over the world you seens youhave never travel before people cut each other all over. The. World so give nt homeland a break. Buster
Bumba clot I mon no miss this hustle and bustle. Viva Las Vegas
It's all about skills and judgment
Feel like I'm there.
Back in the late 50s and early 60s when I was growing up in Kingston , many of the American made cars still had the steering wheel on the left hand side. Is that still the case?
Cars here have the steering wheel on the right. Most of them are Japanese cars like Honda,Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and others like BMW, Audi, Volvo, Kia and a little of other brands.
@@walmos It's on the right now. But in the 60- 70s they had American cars there.
That's true, I drove for a few sound systems back in the day. Me no drive a truck but the djs. Good times at the dance
That's Jamaica for you.
I'm EU man, is Jamaica a place to go with family and kids?
britiw Jamaica is a nice place to come with your family to enjoy the beaches and more... You will love Jamaica.
8:35 Interesting take on the song, but he is no Meat Loaf sadly
I drive in JA u have to have ur wits about u be brave but I trust me to drive
I love driving in Jamaica, but not at night the approaching vehicles drive with their lights on full beam blinding you, you just have to be patient because they will pull out in front of you.
@BigPete222 You are right about that. What is more interesting is that now a lot of people are putting fog lights in their vehicles and drive with all of them at full power in the middle of the town. I remember in my country you would get a ticket for doing it.
@@walmos It's against the law here in the UK. You only use the full beam on the dark country roads and dip it when facing upcoming vehicles
Some of the lights are generally bright though. I was told once that my light was bright and white but that's how it is and I don't use high beam unless I'm on a country road. I think my lights are those halogenic ones.
Just flash back like you would in any other country and if they refuse keep your brights on and try not to crash
Do traffic laws exist over there
Only if the cops are hungry.
You drove the wrong way to JNBS. Grove Rd would have got you there in half the time
+obama678 Thank you for your comment. However the intention of the video was to show that driving in Jamaica is not easy instead of how to get to JNBS. I appreciate your contribution in showing that there are alternative routes. Blessings! !
@@walmos what do you expect from Obummerites
most people don't use indicators
Oh please. Driving in Jamaica is simple and easy. Done it plenty of times and will be doing it more again.
That's your experience man!
Are you Jamaican?
Thanks for the video. F it I'll get a taxi.
U mad to blct
YOU DO? OUT OF JAMAICA! WE'RE HELPING?
Wayne Blake Hope you are well. Sorry I didn't quite understand your question.
