Just got back from Barbados a couple of weeks ago. Driving there can get a bit hairy, between the crazy drivers, no one using turn signals, poor road markings, and the "third lane" for motorcycles. We arrived during rush hour, luckily the weather is nice and the urban areas are much smaller than the places you are describing. I don't think I would want to drive in China or India.
