On Tortola they paint yellow stripes over the speed bumps so you can notice them..but beware if you are walking..when the yellow stripes get wet they are like ice. I took a header this morning outside Sebastian's and I should know better. Whatever that paint is they use, add a little dropped motor oil and whoosh..be careful out there!

I want to laugh. But thought I had better ask first. Are you okay?

I'm fine but knew for a longtime how slippery they were and still skidded onto my@rse. Just be careful..

A little sand mixed in the paint would fix that. If only sand were easily available!
