Doubles is the staple street food of Trinidad I think and I prefer to drive on the left. Why, because i'm from the UK Manchester. I have drove many times in Europe on the right in either left and right drive vehicles but must admit I found the hardest part was parking a left hand drive vehicle. I eventualy got used to it so now feel comfortable driving either.
Yeah I wanted to rip the plastic off of the rental car for sure!! Yes, bodyguard services are not unusual here; crime can be quite bad in Trinidad, especially wealthy folks are easy targets
Ah the number of times I put the wiper on instead of the turn signals when I first started driving in Europe 🙈🙈 Brilliant video, Kerleem! Definitely one of my favourites 😀 And Doubles 😍😍😍
I personally think that the side you learn to drive on, is the side you prefer. So both LHD and RHD are equally as good, although more countries are LHD (on right side of rd). I've been to the RHD countries of the UK and Malaysia. But i've never driven since my drivers exam is in a short period. I'm looking forward to explore the world and drive in different countries. Keep up the good work Kerleem. Great video!
Thanks I appreciate it! I agree, it's a matter of preference. However, I think, since most people around the world are Right-hand dominant, LHD tends to make more sense (shifter knob for manuals, for example), but yes they are otherwise pretty similar (although the turn signal thing drives me nuts!)
I use LHD in America but I think I would prefer to drive RHD on the right side of the road. Able to enter from the curb and can see the curb before running it over. I want to get a Honda Acty or another kei car.
True, but from what I have seen/heard from others, RHD on the right side of the road has disadvantages too (like trying to pass on a single lane highway, drive thru's etc.). But it would be cool to try
@@KerleemI spent 7 years driving a RHD vehicle on the RH side of the road when driving trucks from UK to Eastern Europe, Russia, etc, and found it safer overall. The advantages were that you can get closer to edge of the road especially on narrow roads and if you have a collision with an opposing vehicle as it’s more likely to be driver side to driver side. The disadvantages include you having a couple of seconds of blindness when overtaking a vehicle that you can’t see over or through, and paying tolls! The above situations mainly relate to two way roads as opposed to motorways/ freeways/autobahns etc.
Trinidad is an island, so it's OK to drive on left side, like the British. Guyana similarly like Trinidad and former British colony, drive on left side of the road. The problem is the North and South American countries drive on the right side of the road. Eventually when countries are connected with roads, it becomes a challenge to switch sides.....maybe take a train in the future?
Good points. However if the Caribbean islands and countries like Guyana adopted LHD, they could more easily get cars (probably for cheaper) from North and South America.
Speed cams dont work. We have not developed since 1962. Anything you saw "develop" in TT means, it lasted long. Lol. We have not moved the pencil as yet. Our import are 3 times our export. Madness! Wish we had stock with the british because no way we have this amount of money and be this backward. Everything is race and party(political) in TT and this is why we are stock in one spot as a nation. This place is no good. Trust me. Thanks for the video though. And right hand drive were the first way of driving if im not mistaken. Just saying. Lol.
lol I don’t think you give TT enough credit though. Sure there’s still progress to be made and roads, infrastructure and other humanity needs. But every time I go back, there’s more modern shops, restaurants, malls, social life. People are buying more goods, more cars, more of (what seems like) a developing middle class. That’s progress!
Visting and living in it are two differences sir. I can guarantee you that. Past 15 years, we have not evolve or develop from what panday and manning did for this country. Basic changes are not the real changes to which citizens can live with and pursue towards an aim or goal to achieve uts target. Having more cars means, some people are just ignorant or have the opportunty to get one. Thats not helping our country develop for tourist attraction, or for citizens comfort. For example; do you know there are laws still exist from colonial times, and also from 1962 in our law enforcements departments, law associations, politicians beauracracy and even the standard of living? I say this to say, that our mentality has not changed since then. We have not created our own. We follow america too often, as it's leading us a stray. Generations to generations and we are still stagnant where we were dropped off. So when you talk about changes and ways to improve, the question is when and how soon? With all this money, we should be way ahead of where we are. But you know why we are here typically 3rd world. Because we as a people put race greed and party infront of our country's interest. Take my stupid advice TT is no near what its supposed to be via the "2020 vision" that has long gone. There are no system here that opperates effectively and surfficiently for the duration of the public in both private and public sector. It's all about "the money" through extortion and oppression. Here is a pure example of modern day slavery without white people doing it. Im telling you facts sir. But ok if you dont believe me. 👍🤷♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️

4:55 personal bodyguard service.. wth?!
Interesting that the rental company left the factory bag/foil on the sun visor..
Yeah I wanted to rip the plastic off of the rental car for sure!!

Thanks for watching!!

7:25 I would rip *that* window tint off so fast!
😆 seriously!

I don’t think there is a train!

And at least they have the 100km/h limit! I remember when they had just 80 km/h speed limits on the highways
