What a lucky day!
Today I drove to Port Louis. So narrow the streets are! and few traffic lights but many many cars,trucks,lorries. Before I drove my car from parking side, I did look behind and flashed the right-turn light.But My car was squashed by a lorry behind me when i drove slowly at 3km/h right out to the road.  Luckily I'm not hurt.
Never got such serious accident before. :(

Just say good luck to you all.  do be careful when driving.

Hiya

Glad to hear you are ok!I did warn you of the crazy drivers here. You have to look both left and right even when driving on a "one-way"road or when you put your flasj lights on, always check before making your next move.

Be very careful until you get used to the driving here.
