Both USVI and BVI drive on the left side. You can judge for yourself if this is the "proper" side. But it's not the "right" side that's for sure.
I don't think I've every seen a vendor on the beach in BVI or USVI.
Life's short - sail more!

unipanther said: Cool about the vendors, not so cool about driving on the wrong side of the road. I don't mind that much, but it freaks my wife out. Went to Antigua 3 years ago and she did not want to get in the cars someday's and that's my favorite part of vacation!! How do you get to the best parts of the island, without driving there!! Cheer and thanks! Please note that it's St.John and not St. Johns and you drive on the proper side of the road for that island not what you consider the "wrong" side from where you are from. If you can't stomach the drive take a cab.

Had to get in on this one. When speaking of "vendors" are you talking of people selling their wares in a waterfront type area like Tortola or like small vendors on the sides of the road selling anything from local made island art or?
This is the same thing to me that was the charm of St. John as well as other islands, bars, IE: kite on St. John which was a favorite small local spot selling some locally grown herbs, Excellent atmosphere with a hell of a view.
Unlike the Mexico overkill sell, sell, hounding feeling which is why I still rarely travel there although there are areas there still fun without that.
As far as driving "When in Rome" etc.....
"How do you get to the best parts of the island, without driving there!!"
Do what the majority of the people on this board do and sail to them...But if you really want to get to know the people (IMHO) do more land based trips and get out and explore. I hear many incredible trip stories on this board both land and sea.

TravelHat - Then you'll be at home driving in the BVI. Locals (as a whole), drive a bit fast and on their own terms regarding lane usage. I stick to the L curb and let conditions direct my driving habits. Stateside I'm more of an aggressive driver (Knoxville, TN.). But all good...

Generally on Jost the half they drive on is the middle half. That's true everywhere! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
