, indicator flicking on like clockwork for any move i have to make into another lane. .

Why? if you can read the road properly you should only need to do that if your lane change has an effect of another road user around you. ... you need not use them for every lane change unless in some Southern US states.

Wrong. Because it's good communication. To keep talking to vehicles around you. It's car language. Drivers cant read your mind. I sure men does pull on you and you does be like 'wdmc bai use your indicator self nah'.. and is because just like u, them thought u wouldnt mind, they was clear, or they coulda fit normal. Lol

[Morpheus]

Wrong indeed. Indicators tell those in front, behind and at the side of you what your intentions are.
I have indicated to change lanes many times but because the car coming up behind me had already indicated and apparently was going to make a similar lane change I would remain in my lane until he has executed and passed.

Also car in extreme right land and you're in extreme left lane. You both decide to enter the middle lane. Peripheral vision should pick up his side marker flashing and you can maintain your position until the other one executes his manouver.

Just think about it as you're indicating for others, not for yourself. It's general safety.

I say the same for lights at dawn and dusk. It's for people to see you(your car), not for you to see them. I fed up see people driving at 5am with no lights on because they eyes good.

Men real good here... Up to this day the Lord hasn't blessed me with the vision to see through objects... Still can't see the indicator on a vehicle that is directly alongside. I don't rely on peripheral vision... Confirm by glancing over my shoulder.
With three lanes you run the risk of changing lanes in someone's blind spot.

U is a driver. Not because u seeing good mean others seein good.

When i just got my license, for at least the 1st year, i couldnt drive and read signs, seemed to take too much concentration.

how are you at walking and chewing bubble gum?

[Kenjo]

When i just got my license, for at least the 1st year, i couldnt drive and read signs, seemed to take too much concentration. Now i depend on signs and anticipate to read them comfortably. I also found it too tedious to be checking my rear view mirrors every second. But i broke myself into a habit and now it's just like second nature i dont have to think about it. Didnt believe too much in my indicator either but good sense prevailed eventually from experiences on the road. Now i dont miss not once, indicator flicking on like clockwork for any move i have to make into another lane. Yuh does have to learn and keep improving as a driver. Some things u can only get from experience cuz there isnt any book on those kind of intricacies that happen on the road sometimes.

You should try doing a defensive driving course, all these things that you learn by experience are taught there all in a few hours

[meccalli]

I just stopped driving after I got mine. Not worth driving in an island with this much car ownership.

That's your preference. If your peripheral can't pick up a side marker and dem bright flashers they even put on the wing mirrors, especually at night, well ok. Plus according to your speed and the traffic ahead, be careful.
But I was speaking about the importance of using indicators(as well) for such manouvers. Which woman you know taking their eyes off the road in front to glance across?

Always lower your music and make a quick check before crossing any part of the bus route.

One would think a measuring tape is expensive.

If tax payers money buying it, then yes. A $20.00 tape might cost us $2000.00

[ADONI]

Is this the same flyover where the army container hit and fell off last month?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

who get the contract to take it out?

[The Bamboo Online]

Somebody should ask for a contract to mill down the asphalt at those flyovers.

[Dizzy28]

Is this the same flyover where the army container hit and fell off last month?

No. That was Claxton Bay, this one was Milton.

[Emmar01]

Wasn't Milton. This was at the harmony Hall overpass just south of Gasparillo. I passed there last night going northbound.

[Dizzy28]

^ The pics of the accident on Facebook has the Children's hospital in the background though.

[Morpheus]

Ah vagrant eh pass and tell them to "air dong" the tyres?

[kavaninho]

Ah vagrant eh pass and tell them to "air dong" the tyres?

Won't it be easier to give somebody a contract to jack up or disassemble the over pass?

[Morpheus]

LoL good point...

[rspann]

Both ah allyuh wrong. This was Tobago, look a blue band maxi passing on the flyover.

[Country_Bookie]

Who is Langley?

Langley was well known throughout the area. Was a harmless drunk man who would walk around the neighborhood and talk to everyone.

[wagonrunner]
