Former TTPS member here! 1. Valid foreign permits can be used for around 30 days before needing authorization. 2. There is no fast lane. "Keep left unless overtaking." Means do up to 100 in the left and enough to safely overtake on the right then get back in place. The only time you should be in the right lane is to overtake. 3. You should do a video on proper use of roundabouts. I heard some "preferred route" nonsense and it was upsetting. Thanks for this! Makes me appreciate our country more!

@TrinbagoVibes 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the clarification 🙏🏽

@unadultratedtrini Месяц назад

We should implement carpool lanes or "fast lanes" when they upgrade the N-S highways to 3 lanes and likewise with the E-W. This would alleviate traffic and allow for people who are driving longer distances to achieve their destinations in a more timely manner. It's not like the roadways and vehicles cannot handle the slightly higher speeds when the proper safety procedures being observed.

@unclelink Месяц назад

@@unadultratedtrini that's a very good idea! Express way for those travelling far? Yeah! Similarly, I thought mini roundabout (like those in the UK) would be useful at certain T junctions and traffic lights could be removed. Look up some videos, if you have time. Simple and straightforward: use you indicators, stay in your lane and move at an adequate pace. But both have the same problem and it isn't the law nor police. It's the maturity and patience levels of Trini drivers. A man will buss one stueps, "traffic moving too slow!" Jump onto the express/carpool lane and off he goes! Five minutes later police stop him and give him a ticket, "allyuh too wicked! Why allyuh don't go and look for real criminals?" Or my favorite, "only targeting poor people to make money for the government!" When all he had to do was join or create a carpool like your suggestion or wait like every other responsible driver. I've heard them all... all the excuses. Is always somebody else fault. Or maybe I'm wrong and projecting. Thanks for reading the first comment and replying with your suggestions. These are just my opinions based on observations. Not meant to insult anyone.

At 20:52 where you made the turn off due to the construction takes you out by the guapo police station if you pass under the bridge. This highway made a huge difference. You took 35 mins on the southern main road but prior to the highway being open could have took an hour and more due to traffic. So from +1 hr to 15 mins give or take is huge. Great vid!!!

@TrinbagoVibes 7 месяцев назад

Yup, I was lucky this rounds that there wasn’t as much cars on the road stopping or more than one or two heavy vehicles at the time I did this

Love these take along trips . Speaking of cars . I remember one of my bros , offered to give me a lift, so i walked to the vehicle open the door and was confronted by the steering wheel. Left Hand drive . And after " what you want to drive " I had to endure cars and trucks comming towards me on my side .( not nice for a nondriver ) Lol . Bro you should not have "bragged " on passing the bus 😋🙋‍♂️ Now the bus has the last laugh 🤣 . Love the " Know Your Country "info .Any one remembered that tv show? .May haps...if possable we could see a map....ala Waze , showing the location and movement . How about when you in the line obeying the rules, and some one pass you on the Sholder 😮☹️😖😤 . Thanks for the ride bro . Lets do more . And also to you and all the Trinbago Vibes peeps lets " arrive alive "

Plus, the southern main road used to have real traffic with trucks and slow moving vehicles not to mention the bad road in La Brea so it would usually have been more than 34 minutes! Good job!
