While I was there -not so long ago - we were travelling back from Half Moon Beach in a van. There was 9 of us plus the driver - all chit chatten and enjoying ourselves. We were just passing the All Inclusives when the screech of tires on the pavement had us all bracing for the worst. It was so close that I thought at first it was our driver Leroy however we didn't have the momentum this type of screeching of brakes would give but I braced myself for the impact. Seems what happened was a car behind us was attempting to pass us when a van the other way was approaching closer than he had figured on. The van opposite to us was forced to take the shoulder to avoid what might have been a terrible head-on. The driver of the car was forced to smash his brakes on and slid back behind us. Maybe a 1/4 of a mile further he pulls over to pick somebody up. He was not a taxi but probably picking up a friend.
I am also truly amazed at folks cycling both on the beach road as well as the west end and somehow survive the day.
Thank God Kahuna3 you were spared.
