Other driver whipped a u turn and caught us just as we pulled into sips n bites, I thought the other driver was gonna beat the hell out of my driver. Drivers in Negril are terrible in general.
We had the craziest experience, we stopped on our scooter at Canoe and had a beer and decided to head further into the cliffs. I commented to GF to be careful and pay attention when near the road as you never know when you will need to sidestep a car or MC that is out of control. MY Gf asked the question "Wonder what they do when there is a wreck here, do the police even show up?" Fast forwards two minutes and we are riding between Samsara and Rockhouse a car coming towards us is obviously flying and fails to make the curve and literally is totaled hitting one of the heavy steel poles and striking the wall by Rockhouse. We heard the crash and turned around to see if anyone was injured. No major injuries just some blood from hitting the window a bit but it really shook us up. That car could have killed us or someone walking along the wall so easily, I don't know why the Jamaicans drive so recklessly when otherwise they seem to be so nonchalant and never in a hurry.
