on a road to get a dominican driving license

[sokitoumi]

I would take driving a little more seriously- afterall it is potentially putting peoples lives at risk if you dont learn properly

I'm sure dv8 is taking it very seriously. The gallows humour kicks in after a few years of actually driving here.................

OMG!!
She laughed and then wiped it with some cotton first?
As if that would stop the spread of HIV and other diseases.
All to save a few cents by reusing needles, but no consideration for human life?
Scary.

It was an interesting read.

Anyone with a foreign license who has been here 90 days or less is considered 'legal'

What I found most interesting was Chapter 10 of the law. It basically outlaws our carros publicos!!

It says that a vehicle cannot carry more passengers than it is designed for, and that is determined by the manufacturer...

Obviously, no carro publico would ever pass this check.

My country sucks. The laws are fine... it's just the damn application.
