● In USVI, motorists drive on the left hand side of the road. Many cars, however, are also left-side steering as the cars come from the USA.
● You must always wear your seatbelt.
● The horn is used as a friendly signal rather than to express road rage.
● Animals often roam the roads, so as you drive be wary of chickens, goats and donkeys.
