This post has me laughing. I have driven on SXM for over thirty years, and have never have found it ''scary''. Frustrating at times, but not scary. With that said, my wife has REFUSED to drive the car on the island at any time. She thinks nothing of driving all over at home at any time, and will drive anywhere, but absolutely refuses to get behind the wheel on SXM. Her excuse is always the bikers, the steep hills, etc. She has even taken the bus into town a few times, with the rental car just sitting in it's parking space. to each their own.
