Trinidad for drivers

I am driving a route that I travel almost every day and in the space of fifteen minutes I encounter two separate vehicles coming at me, on two different (one way) streets—I know that I'm going the right way. What are the odds of this occurring, since it hasn't happened to me before? I say the odds are getting greater every day, after all this is Trinidad. The land of undoubtedly some of the most inconsiderate and uneducated drivers on the planet. I have no doubt, that at least one of these drivers was aware that they were on a "one way" street. The lack of law enforcement and the fact that you can buy a driver's licence for roughly US$50 are just a couple of things that sets this tiny little island apart from civilization.
