I came to Jamaica with the idea I would buy a car or van to take the kids places and to see more of the island during our trip and I am so happy I bought our 6 passenger Nissan Vanette that I already want another one for tours and so I can keep this one for just personal use.我来到牙买加与想法，我购买汽车或货车采取孩子们的地方和看到更多的岛屿在我们的行程和我很高兴我买了我们6客运日产vanette ，我已经想另一位旅游因此，我可以保留此一只是个人使用。 It was a little more than I wanted to spend at the time but in the end it worked out perfectly for us.这是一个稍多于我要花费的时间，但最终它工作完全为我们。 We have been able to tour the entire island and meet some great people while seeing some beautiful places because of that van and we’ll see even more of it in days to come.我们已可以参观整个岛屿和满足一些伟大的人民，而看到一些美丽的地方，因为这个车和我们将看到更它在未来的日子。 It drives like a dream with a super smooth ride and the door arrangement is perfect for us as a family or for use as a tour bus and taxi cab.它的驱动器一样的梦想，与一个超级的顺利平顺性和大门的安排是十全十美的，我们作为一个家庭或使用作为一个旅游巴士及的士驾驶室。 We get lots of folks looking at us for rides when we drive around in it but I rarely take the risk of picking anyone up.我们得到了很多的乡亲看在我们的游戏机，当我们在驱动器靠近它，但我很少采取的风险，拣取任何行动。
I was prepared for driving in Jamaica with my Florida drivers license and an International Driving Permit valid here in Jamaica and like 30 other countries I think.我是准备驾驶在牙买加与我的佛罗里达州的驾驶执照和国际驾驶许可证有效期在这里牙买加和30日一样，其他国家，我认为。 It was quite the trick learning to navigate the roads of Jamaica and I have discovered lots of new things while getting lost in the bush.这是相当的把戏学习浏览的道路牙买加和我发现很多新的东西，而迷失在丛林中。 I have put quite a few thousand kilometers on the van and I would never have found great places such as我已提出了不少几千公里就面包车和我可能永远都没有发现大的地方，例如 Sunset Heal夕阳愈合 and made new friends like the owner Beatrice without it.并取得了新的朋友一样，拥有比阿特丽斯没有它。 I certainly don’t mind traveling off the beaten track to find gems like that and the van has made this happen for us.当然，我不介意旅行小康因循守旧，找到宝石一样，和Van作出了这种情况我们。 One piece of advice that has kept us safe was always keep your tank full because you never know just how lost you can get in Jamaica and the next gas station may be along way off.一条意见，一直是我们安全始终保持你的坦克充分，因为你永远不知道刚才是如何失去你可以在牙买加和未来煤气站，可沿的方式起飞。
When I insured the van with NEM insurance they told me I had 6 months to get a Jamaican drivers license so I bought a standard drivers license book and read through it once or twice.当我投保的前列，与站保险他们告诉我，我已6个月内获得牙买加驾驶执照，所以我买了一个标准的驾驶执照和图书阅读经历过一次或两次。 The test would be easy or so I thought.测试将很容易或所以我以为。 Driving on the left hand side of the road was odd at first but I’ve adjusted well and I have had quite a few Jamaicans comment on my good driving skills.驾驶就在左手边的道路多是在第一，但我已经调整好，我有好几个牙买加人评论对我的良好的驾驶技巧。 My mom would be proud to see such an improvement over my teen driving years我的妈妈会自豪地看到这样一个改善我国青少年驾驶年 
It must be the added responsibility of parenthood that keeps me more safe and aware on the roads now but learning to navigate this country with little to no road signage in every city was a different trick.它必须加上父母的责任，不断我更知道，安全和对道路，但现在的学习来浏览这个国家很少或几乎没有道路的指示牌，在每一个城市是一个不同的伎俩。 My road map of Jamaica that I purchased from Amazon before we arrived has been of great help and of course my favorite guide on Jamaica has some nice maps and helpful suggestions as well.我的路线图，牙买加，我从亚马逊购买之前，我们抵达一直有很大的帮助，而且当然我最喜爱的指南，牙买加有一些很好的地图和有用的建议，以及。 I brought the GPS along and have mapped some locations with it but I’m having trouble with integrating the maps into our blog still. i带来的全球定位系统沿线，并已制定了一些地点与它，但我无法与整合的地图到我们的博客仍然。
The paperwork necessary to own and drive a van here in Jamaica took me some time to sort out.文件要自己的驱动器和一辆轻型货车在这里牙买加我花了一些时间来理清。 After buying the van and clearing up the ownership documents I had to get a signature from a Justice of the Peace who could claim to have known me for at least 90 days.后购买车及清理所有权的文件，我要得到一个签名，由太平绅士谁可以声称已经知道我在至少90天。 I found a man in Sav willing to do so after having just met me.我发现一名男子在sav愿意这样做之后，刚刚会见了我。 He did it for free but I tipped him $500 Jamaican for his help and time because he went through and verified all of my documents and even signed off on my four Passport photos which I needed to supply for the drivers license.他没有为自由，但我打破他500元，牙买加，为他的帮助和时间，因为他经历和验证我的所有文件，甚至是签署了关于我的4护照照片，我需要的供应，为驾驶执照。 After the Justice of the Peace I was required to have a medical examination to prove I am physically and mentally fit to drive.后太平绅士我是需要有一个医疗检查，以证明我身体和精神的适合驱动器。 I found a doctor in Sav and had a quick examination for $1,000 Jamaican dollars and she signed off on that for me.我发现一个医生在sav了快速考试1000美元牙买加元和她签署了关于为我。 I guess having the $1,000 was enough proof of my mental state.我猜想有1000元是足够的证据证明我的精神状态。 Once I had the一旦我有 TRN trn and vehicle documents secured it was a matter of paying another $1,000 Jamaican for permission to take the drivers test and I thought it was to be over.和车辆证件担保这是一个问题，付出的另一个1000美元，牙买加的许可，采取司机测试和我还以为这是要超过。 I was wrong and of course in Jamaica things take longer because no one explains themselves and there is such a lack of information available.我是错的，当然在牙买加的东西，需要较长时间，因为没有人解释自己有这样一个缺乏资料。 Most people in any kind of customer service position in this country need some serious job training with a focus on people skills and how to deal with the public.大多数人在任何种类的客户服务的立场，在这个国家需要的一些严重的在职培训，并把重点放在人的技能和如何处理与公众。 I have never seen so many rude people with the job of dealing with people as I do here in Jamaica and specifically government positions.我从来没有见过这么粗鲁的人与工作处理的人，正如我在这里做的，在牙买加，特别是政府的立场。 They must be seriously overworked and underpaid to all have such an abrasive attitude so I pity most of them.他们必须认真过度和过低的所有有这种磨料的态度，所以我很可惜，他们大多数。
I now know there are two types of drivers license in Jamaica, Private and General.现在我知道有两种类型的驾驶执照在牙买加，私人和一般。 A private license is the basic license needed to operate a car or small personal vehicle.一个私人的授权是基本的许可运转所需的汽车或小型私人汽车。 I have a 6 passenger van with the goal to have a red plate tag on it some day so I’ll need the General Drivers license which is more like a commercial drivers license.我有一个六载客车与目标有一个红色标记的板，它有一天，所以我将需要一般驾驶执照，这是更象一个商业驾驶执照。 I asked what tests I would need to take while using my Florida drivers license to qualify and on my first visit for information to the Drivers testing depot in Sav La Mar I was mistakenly informed that I would only need to take the sign test, the yard test and the road test because of my use of my Florida drivers license as the qualifying document.我问是什么测试，我想需要采取的同时，用我的佛罗里达州的驾驶执照资格，并就我第一次访问的信息向司机测试车厂在sav香格里拉三月，我错误地获悉，我想只需要采取的迹象试验，码测试和路试，因为我用我的佛罗里达州的驾驶执照作为合资格的文件。
I was not made aware of what they call the mechanical test which goes in depth into the operation of the van and motor with details on things such as vehicle compression and motor functions and with questions like “On the compression stroke if a four cylinder motor what opens the valves?” or others about crankshaft directions in relation to the camshaft or something like that.我不知道他们所谓的力学试验，其中有云在深入探讨的运作，面包车和电动机的细节的东西，如车辆压缩和运动功能及与问题一样， “关于压缩行程，如果四汽缸引擎，电机是什么打开阀门“ ？或其他有关曲轴方向，关系到凸轮轴或类似的东西。 I was lost.我失去了。 They showed me the test and I knew I would never pass it but the guy told me to take a chance so I did.他们表明我的考验，我知道我绝不会通过，但家伙告诉我一个机会，所以我没有。 I gave it a shot and came out with 14 correct from 22 which is failing.我给它一个镜头就出来了14正确的，从22日这是失败。 I needed 17 correct to pass.我需要17正确的通过。 He tossed the test and told me to retake it at a later time.他抛出的考验和告诉我，要夺回它在稍后的时间。 I’m going to have to go back after I have studied my new Jamaican Drivers Mechanical testing booklet which I purchased at Possessions bookstore in Sav La Mar for $250JA.我要去要回去后我研究我的新牙买加司机的力学性能测试的小册子，我购买的财产书店在sav香格里拉三月元250ja 。
After taking the sign and mechanical tests I went ahead with the yard test because I could still finish that and the road test at this time.上台后的标志和力学测试，我到未来与码测试，因为我仍然可以完成，以及路试在这个时候。 The yard test was pretty easy and consisted of me parking the van on an incline and taking off without rolling off the hill along with a simple reverse maneuver between some cones and parallel parking the vehicle on both sides within 18 inches of the curb.该码的测试是相当容易和构成我停车的前列，就一倾斜，并考虑关闭无滚动小康山丘，随着一个简单的反向动作之间的一些锥和平行停车的车辆，双方在18英寸的遏制。 The yard is open to the public almost every day and if anyone needed to practice the course before hand it seems pretty easy to do.该码是向公众开放，几乎每天都有，如果任何人都需要实践的过程中前手似乎相当容易的事。
When it came time to take the road test I was not aware that I had to bring aa licensed Jamaican driver with me but some fine Jamaican drivers are conveniently waiting there to ride with us for another $1,000 Jamaican dollars for their valuable time and skill set.当它来到的时间，采取路试我不知道，我不得不把机管局持牌牙买加司机与我，但有些司机罚款牙买加方便的等候在那里饶有兴致地乘坐了我们的另一个1000美元牙买加元，为他们的宝贵时间和技能的人才。 I reluctantly paid the $1,000 to have a guy sit next to me as my driving instructor while the examiner sat in the back seat for the test. i勉强支付了1000美元有一个家伙坐在我旁边的作为我的驾驶教师，而主考官，坐在后座为测试。 My instructor and I jumped in my van and drive down to the Mannings School entrance in Sav La Mar which is just up the road from the Driving Depot where the tests are administered and where they also do vehicle inspections.我的导师，我就跳下，在我的车及驱动器下降到万宁入学在sav香格里拉三月这是刚才了道路，从驾驶车厂所在的测试管理，而他们也做车辆检查。 While we sat out front waiting for the examiner to arrive we talked some and the instructor told me I would most likely be asked to do the more difficult road maneuver from the handbook which was to turn around on a two way street using a minor road junction for the turn around.虽然我们坐在前面等待检验到达我们谈到一些和指导员告诉我，我想最有可能被要求做更多的艰难道路机动从该手册是回过头来对双向街用一个小的道路交界处为扭转。
It’sa pretty dumb move in my opinion because it forces you to reverse down a road in the right lane and turn in reverse into the minor road right hand lane before proceeding forward and turning left onto the major road from the left lane but I made sure to study the diagram provided in my manual before he arrived to be sure I understood the move.这是相当愚蠢的行动，我认为，因为它迫使您要扭转下跌的道路是在正确的车道，把在逆向进入轻微道路的右手里，然后才和发扬左转上的主要道路从左侧车道，但我作出一定要研究的图表提供了在我的手册之前，他抵达，以确保我了解，该动议。 While executing my turn correctly another car turned into the minor road and stopped about 8 feet in front of me.而执行轮到我正确的另一辆汽车变成了小规模道路，并停止有关八英尺在我面前。 After completing my reverse turn I came to face the driver in front of me and we both kinda sat there in a pause.完成后，我逆转我来面对司机在我前面，和我们都kinda星期六有在一个暂停。 Rather then sit still in the wrong lane facing the wrong direction about 40 feet before a road junction I chose to move around the car and proceed with my turn.而不是坐以待毙，然后在错误的里所面临的方向是错误的约40英尺前路交界我选择了走动，汽车和进行轮到我。 My examiner told me to stop and then asked me what I was doing.我的考官告诉我停下来，然后问我，我是这样做。 He told me the other driver had the right of way and it was upon me to wait.他告诉我，其他司机的权利的方式，这是后，我要等待。 I told him that it made little sense to sit there waiting for him to move when it was apparent he was waiting to see what I did.我告诉他，这没有什么意义，以坐在那里等待他的动议时，很明显他是等着看我所做的。 My examiner told me I failed on the spot and asked me to return to the garage.我的考官告诉我，我没有当场就问我返回到车库。 I was hot.我的热点。 I could not understand his logic in requiring me to sit in the middle of the right lane facing the wrong direction at a road junction while waiting for another car to move.我不明白他的逻辑，要求我参加，在中东的权利里，面对错误的方向，在路口等候另一辆汽车动议。 I told him for safety sake it was best for me to get out of the road and if faced with that situation again I would act in the exact same way.我告诉他，为安全起见，它是最好的，我要跳出道路的话，面对这种形势，我再次将法在完全相同的方式。
When we got back to the depot it took him about 5 minutes before he called me into his office and told me I failed and I would have to come back.当我们回来向车厂花了他大约5分钟前，他叫我到他的办公室，并告诉我，我没有和我会回来。 I told him that was unacceptable and I wanted to speak with a supervisor.我告诉他，这是不能接受的和我想发言，与上司。 I told him I wanted to retake the test with some other more sensible person.我告诉他，我要夺回测试与其他一些更明智的人。 I also accused him of splitting the $1,000 paid to his selected instructor and that brought a few others into the argument.我也指责他分裂1000美元支付给他选定导师，并带来了数他人的论点。 Apparently even many Jamaican citizens are unaware of the requirement and they get caught up in it as well.显然，甚至许多牙买加公民是不知道的规定，和他们却被挡在了它作为。 I was given the chance to speak with a supervisor and the examiner in the room and after some pretty little drawings on a scrap of paper the supervisor called the instructor into the room.给我机会发言，与上司和考官在会议室和后，一些漂亮的小图纸就一一纸空文监所谓的导师到房间内。 My driving instructor earned his $1,000 and told the supervisor he felt he would have done the same exact thing as I had done in my situation.我的驾驶教师获得了1000美元，并告诉上司，他觉得他这样做同样的事，确实正如我做了在我的情况。 He said we were at a stalemate of sorts and he felt it was on me to get out of the other cars way and on with my business.他说，我们处于僵局的种种，他认为这是对我摆脱其他汽车的方式和对我的业务。 The supervisor called it a mistake in judgment by both parties and my only mistake in the test and passed me without really completing the driving test.监督员，称它是在判断上犯了错误，由当事双方和我唯一的错误，在测试，并通过我没有真正完成驾驶考试。
I went back and took the written mechanical test and got a receipt for my Jamaican Drivers License about 2 weeks late after memorizing the pre test questions to pass the mechanical portion of the test.我回到了书面力学性能测试，得到了一张收据为我的牙买加驾驶执照约2周后，年底前的记忆试题通过机械部分的测试。 The book and test were last updated in 1976 and there was little in there that actually related to my van or driving in Jamaica but I now have a General Drivers License which allows me to drive cars, trucks or vans anywhere in Jamaica.这本书和试验，最近一次更新是在1976年有小，在那里，其实与我的车或驾驶在牙买加，但我现在有一个一般的驾驶执照，这让我驾驶汽车，卡车或货车随时随地在牙买加。 It took me over 4 months to receive my Jamaican drivers license and it has really helped me to understand just how screwed up things in this country can be.我花了超过4个月，收到我的牙买加驾驶执照，并已真正帮助我了解如何拧了的东西，在这个国家可以。 The bureaucracy, rigmarole and ridiculous red tape necessary to conduct any sort of business here really makes a mess out of things and must be the cause of some of the frustration amongst the Jamaican people.I understand that many drivers here never actually take the test and a large percentage of Jamaican drivers are forced to buy their license on the black market because some of them cannot read to take the tests and others simply don;t have the time or patience to take all these mundane steps to be able to drive.官僚架构， rigmarole和荒谬的繁文缛节，有必要进行任何形式的商业在这里，实在是一塌糊涂出来的东西，必须加以事业的一些挫折，其中包括牙买加people.i明白，很多司机在这里从来没有采取实际的测试和很大比例的牙买加司机被迫购买他们的许可就黑市，因为他们中的一些无法读取采取的考验和其他简单唐;吨有时间，或耐心，采取一切世俗的这些步骤，以便能够驱动器。
