Driving in the Bahamas

Although traffic drives on the left-hand side of the road most vehicles are imported from the United States and are left hand drive.When driving abroad in the Bahamas you should therefore exercise caution, especially when overtaking.

Driver Abroad.

No kidding. On Reddit, someone’s own account:

Nailed it. So, in the Bahamas, I was riding in a taxi. American vehicle (Left hand drive), driving on the left side of the road. We’re following say…a van…going down the road. Taxi cab driver decides to pass, but he can’t see. At all. Because there’s a van in front of us, and he (taxi driver) is on the wrong side of the vehicle (to be able to see oncoming traffic). So, he sits in the middle of the front (bench) seat. He slides over to the right as far as he possibly can, so he can see if it’s safe to pull out and overtake the van. Now, at this point, he can barely reach the brake, and can barely reach the gas, and leans far into the passenger seat (in the front) and sticks his head as far right as he can, so he can see if anything coming, then he pulls out, and we pass the van. So dangerous there are no words. It should be illegal.
