I just got back (from my honeymoon! cards and letters welcome...) from 
the British Virgin Islands (Tortola, a very mountainous island).  The
roads are SCARY, many steeper than San Francisco with lots of blind curves
and switchbacks.  The natives drive like maniacs!  I don't think they 
believe that cars can be dangerous.  They do things like passing other
cars on blind curves up a 45-degree incline, and (maybe because there
are no lines painted on the roads) don't seem to understand the concept
of 'lanes', just sort of drive along wherever their hearts take them.

Besides they drive on the wrong side of the road ALL THE TIME! :-)
