TY mn fan, have seen a fair number of anti-driving posts and some that were pro or neutral. Only the latter seemed to have much detail though, and mostly about driving, not what areas not to stray into.
Your point is taken.

I put together my thoughts on driving, along with some videos and photos I took on the roads:Originally Posted by KenJ

As for "areas not to stray into" I really can't think of any except some in Kingston (west of downtown, mainly) and Montego Bay, parts of May Pen and Spanish Town. But except for MoBay all of those are far to the east.
Driving though MoBay on your way somewhere else you won't go pass through any funky areas but if you plan an extended stay there near, say, Flankers, ask and people can probably tell you what areas to avoid.
I've driven as a solo female throughout the country, east, south, west, some waaaayyyyyy off the beaten track areas, and never feared for my safety. I avoid driving at night, though, and do generally know where I am and where I'm headed.
Hiring a driver is also nice, though, you can sit back and enjoy a few drinks while you travel, take pictures, get to know someone who knows the island well. It can be similar in cost or more, it depends where you want to go.
Hi KenJ
I will send you a private message shortly. I have issues as your wife does and we stay at a place on the beach and a few in the cliffs that will be suitable.
