I was reading the Sunday paper this evening and saw the latest statistic from the roads. So far this year there have been 15 fatal car accidents. On an island only 9 miles wide and 30 miles long with 150,000 residents that is an incredible number. Then you have to consider that the speed limit here is only 35 mph.

But you also have to consider that this is a mountainous country with winding 2 lane roads. And the coral rock paving is mostly limestone and get very slippery in the rain. And a lot of people drink too much. The drinking age here is 18.

It all adds up to 15 dead on the roads so far this year.
