- Drive on the left-hand side of the road and always wear your seatbelt.
- Keep a road map in the car and make sure to have access to a GPS; the island roads aren’t well marked.
- Watch out for goats and other livestock near the roads.
- Stick to driving during daylight.
- Always yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.
