Not to ask a stupid question, but does SXM even HAVE no passing zones? Based on the description, I think it sounds like this was on that huge hill coming down into Grand Case, which I don't think should be a no passing zone, as people could see each other (unless one of them happened to not have lights on).

I really don't think there are any driving rules of the roads in SXM. Seems like it is a free for all! The motorcycles pass on both sides of the road and even ride beside other cars in the same lane. Cars pass anywhere they choose with no care for road conditions. I think it is time for things to change as there are far too many accidents and lives lost.

The bikers in St Martin drive the same as the bikers in France. They just have more lanes in France.

The guys and I've seen a few girls on the bikes, they remind me of the bikers from the Mad Max movies! Crazy outlaws with no regard for anyone!! I have learned over the years, if you have a biker behind you, don't move right or left to let them by. You just don't know which side they will pass you, not like the states where they are to pass you on the left side of your car. I love riding, but I would never ride on the island.
Sand Gravity, got to love it!
