i drive for a living now,,,,,,stretch limos in NYC,,,,,live part ot the time in SDQ.........it is easier to drive in the DR.......no rules in the DR,,,,,,,,,well there is 1 rule .....don't hit anything.....other than that just sit back relax and enjoy.......drive as fast or slow as you like,,,,,,,in any lane you like......turn left or right whenever and wherever you please,,,,,,,,,,,don't bother with the pesky turn-signals either......traffic lights are only suggestions,,,,,,,,,,park where convenient.......one-way is the way you are going.......mind the speed bumps in front of the schools.........and don't hit anything because if you do, you will need prayer....EOM
