    The amount of traffic movement through the Botanical Gardens, especially when there is a cruise ship, is almost equal to that of Town. The condition of the road through the Gardens reflect this. When the traffic is heavy walking on the road becomes a hazard.

    Traffic through the Gardens should be limited, and heavy vehicles prevented from using that road.

    The 3 vehicles were on the starting line, when the bell rings , they want to see who reaches the finishing line first.

    You don’t need designated parking to tell you that your parking is bad, common sense should tell you that double parking in Garden is impossible. Some people are too quick to blame everyone else and Dominica for an individual ignorance. SMDH

    Handwritten number plate. No vehicle license sticker. The country nice boy.

    This happened because the Gardens has become a disaster zone, especially on cruise ship days when the taxi drivers forget their brains at home…… MUDD your comment rocks!!! lol

      Preventer fit himself nicely like a crab hiding under stones. I wonder if he intended on using the back door as his exit since he left no allowance for the driver to get out.

    This happened because our drivers seems to be running out of patience.

    its amazing to see that one driver wont stand for 2 min to allow another to pass, and lol but when they collide, both have to wait for hours for the police.

    This happened because Dominicans are a bunch of idiots.

        You don’t know if this person is a Dominican. Lots of other people read this site, that’s why we have to be careful of what we post here. The middle driver is indeed a idiot.

    It happened because there is no designated parking spots in the Botanical Gardens.

      @MUDD – I myself was wondering the same thing.

      Apparently, the two other vehicles gang up on Preventer to prevent it from going somewhere.
