Advices for Car Trips through Jamaica

Previous tips
14. You will see a lot of public transport on local roads. Buses, fixed-run taxis and ordinary taxis ply on city and country roads. Needless to say, they are another source of serious danger for drivers.
15. You should not expect that a bus driver will give way to you or will let you overtake. Public transport drivers feel superior on the road and can give way to, probably, only freight transport.
16. Drivers are recommended to fuel their vehicles at the earliest opportunity. In large cities, petrol stations are quite common, while in the countryside it can be quite tricky to find a petrol station.
17. Local petrol stations and car shops usually accept not only local currency but also U.S. dollars. When going to a petrol station, foreign drivers are recommended to stock up on a sufficient number of paper money and coins of small denomination – petrol stations’ employees are extremely reluctant to give change.
18. When it comes to parking, locals treat it with same carelessness and do not bother to compliance with traffic regulations. Note you cannot leave your car in the places marked with corresponding prohibition signs. When choosing a place to park, you should make sure that the car left on the side road will not become an obstacle for other vehicles.
19. Foreign motorists are required to have the international driver's permit. Without this document the license obtained in home country will be considered invalid.
20. In general, the situation on roads of Jamaica is fairly quiet. Local people express aggression rarely and all misunderstandings are usually solved by peacefully. In order to adapt quickly and get accustomed to peculiarities of local traffic, it is enough to watch local drivers carefully. No matter how risky their maneuvers seem to be, all of them are intuitive and logical.
