A Tongue-In-Cheek Look At Our Drivers Here

This is from an article, that was in the What’s On, a fun paper for the area. So please just enjoy it and have a great laugh. You know as well as I do how we drive back in the states. Not to much better.
The Bahamas is founded on Christian beliefs and actions and so are the commandments as set down in this driver’s manual. First and most important commandment is “Have Faith”. Have faith that you will be OK. Have faith others drivers will look out for you. Have Faith. The second commandment has to do with traffic lights. Green means GO. Amber means GO FASTER. Red means go if you have Faith, you can still get through the intersection. If you are already stopped at a red light, but there is no one coming either way, that also means GO, Have Faith. The third commandment has to do with the STOP sign. A REAL STOP sign has eight sides, is RED and has Large White letters that spell out STOP. The Bahamas Stop sign is round, with a red triangle that represents YEILD and the word STOP. This is clearly not a serious Stop sign, but offers an option. If there really is traffic, you should probably STOP. If you have faith and you think you can get into the intersection, in spite of traffic, then you should treat the sign as a YEILD sign and you should GO. If you happen to find yourself stuck in a line of cars in, form a continuous string of cars and drive as hard and fast as you can to get as many cars as possible through the STOP/YEILD sign. The sign above this is a STOP/YEILD SIGN. Be for now and I will write about the next commandments that follow.
