wrong and strong attitude- where does it come from?

[evo-STI-k]

What is to blame for our nations WRONG and STRONG attitude on our roadways?

Someone hits you from behind , yet when or IF they come out they are more angry than you are and they get on all ignorant.

People who frequently traverse using the shoulder or a TURNing lane and then Illegally and Ignorantly figure that they have the right of way to cut back in - if you get into an accident with these people whilst trying to squeeze them out- they are the ones who are more upset that you . They swear that they are entitled to do so?

Where does all of this mentality come from? Childhood ?, growing up watching their parents do the same thing?, LAck of education?
I often wonder how many of these people actually obtained their drivers permit LEGALLY.

[rodfarva]

wrong and strong attitude on the road is not exclusive to trinidad

a lot of drivers are like this in the US

now...i dunno if those drivers are originally from trinidad but they exist

[2 d Max Auto]

There's a clear lack of discipline and mutual respect for laws/regulations and each other............not only have I seen this type of attitude on the roadways but generally society seemed to have descended to this level

[Mini]

Trinidadians always have to blame someone else for their misfortunes... no one is willing to accept the blame...

that... and well the "handouts" given by the government perpetuate an attitude that people are always owed something.

If that were the case we would not have the people with low brain cell count problem.

they weren't brought up,they were dragged up...

[dragmaster]

Simple explanation, most if not all Trinis are SELFISH!!!!

They really don't care about you, once they get fix. Whether it be on the highway or a KFC line, once they get what they want. If however, you decide to show them that they are selfish and are affecting you and other people, let's hope you have your bullet-proof vest on, cuz that is a declaration of war.

And the most worrying thing, is that these selfish Trinis are of all ages, from young boy to old man, and gender plays no part either.

The amount of examples I can give is almost endless. It's best to let them go ahead, cuz at the end of the day, E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y end up in the same place; 6 feet under (or sprinkled in a river, or in an Urn on the dresser).

^think dragmaster hit it on the head..

I also believe it is selfishness...

stems from a young age...depends on how people were brought up.

[crazybalhead]

Who wants to hear an example???

I was on park street in the right lane waiting to turn unto Richmond street, a lady in front of stops her car ON A NO PARKING SIGN right at the corner, and jumps out to go in the shop. So I rest my hand on the horn, she shouts "Come out and move it nah!!!!!!"
I say "You blind or what, yuh cannot park there!" She then puts her hands on her hips and sticks her tongue out at me!!! A big fvckin 50 something year old woman!!!

[ingalook]

"Come out and move it nah!!!!!!"

If she refused to move it, according to the law (MVRTA), you were well within your rights to move it for her!

Another one.
I was in my yard when a car hit another (on the main road eh)
The man on the main road was alone with a woman. The other car that was on the minor road had 5 fellas. They jump out and approach the man vex. One of them cuff him down and he stumble across the road to opposite my yard. I see everything, but so much bush in my yard I hidden. Police come and one of them throw something in a bottlebrush in my yard. I ask one of the fellas what went on there. He say " boy de man see we comin and he eh stop". The same man on the major road eh. So I ask " so who was on the major road and who break the stop sign?" He say again" de man coulda stop jed"
I say " I eh ask yuh dat? I see allyuh on de minor". He start with "boy doh come wit no jack@$$ ting wit me jed". I already hot because they lash the man who was right so i tell him come in meh yard and say dat again. Well my moms was there and she grab me and pull me inside because knowing they throw whatever they had in the bush cuz of the police, I woulda cause something.
You break the stop light to cross a main road and more vex than the man who car yuh just feckup cuz yuh dotish.
