    Dominicans just drive reckless. They need to be more careful and think not only for themselves but for the other person. How would you feel if kill someone’s family on the road because of your carelessness? It’s time we start thinking of our brother or sister. Most of the times we are so angry within ourselves and that’s what motivates us to be that way. Everything we do is done in any angry manner. Let’s start having more peace and love and we will see the difference in our lives.

    It may be reckless driving and driving in the center of the road. They never think that even though the area had little traffic at that time, they must drive on their side of the road. You never know when there will be an oncoming vehicle especially around the corner.
    One would think after all those accidents which occur in Dominica, all drivers would be cautious.

    One need to have some road knowledge in these areas, but some new comers to the area make it there pleasure to speed on that piece of road.

    If you want to know about the area ask my country men (Castle Bruce) and the Carib territory drivers. They will surely enlighten you.

    Every time there is an accident between Pond Casse to Carib Teritory thru Castle Bruce, Its always someone from outside.

      That’s nonsense! I visit Dominica often and most of the local drivers are reckless. They have no courtesy for tourists that don’t know the roads well, especially the young drivers. I think the law needs to have tough penalties for reckless driving. What’s the rush anyway, Everything in DA should be calm and ire man!

      dominican driving is scary. the nearest place i can think of that may have worse drivers is Spain.
      Totally reckless driving in D/a. Would never pass a test in anywhere else in the world.
