Sadly I know my first reaction will be to get away from the scene as quickly as possible, even if I had nothing to do with the accident. The last thing I want is to get mixed up in the drama... somehow they will find a way to make the gringo responsible.
sometimes being dominican makes all the difference. the other day an old beaten up pickup that was just in front of me in POP hit a moto. in the middle of a busy intersection (javillar). i could see that nothing much happened, few scratches and bruises maybe, but the traffic was, of course, halted by onlookers. i honked my way through and went on to pick up miesposo. came back the same way, less than 5 minutes later: no sign of the event. things were solved quickly and swiftly.
absolutely right! normally speaking, if a gringo hits a motoncho, he is in a world of deep hurt. he will be surrounded by 187 other motoconcho riders, all looking to skin his hide, and fleece him. on the other hand, if the concho is hit by a Dominican, the results are oftentimes different. i saw a guy get out of a BMW X5 one afternoon, and shoot up a motoconcho guy's bike for getting too close, and scratching his ride.
LOL !
Man, we gotta hang out more next time. Love ur stories, LMAO
You forgot step 2. Pick the pockets of all the victims.

The main issue in The DR is that if you hit someone you NEED to flee to the nearest police station as getting out of your car can be very dangerous if the person you hit has relatives or friends around.
My friends travelling on Caribe tours enroute to Samana last saturday hit and possibly killed a moto guy. I'm told the driver didnt care to stop else he risked his own life and that of his passengers
best policy is to only rob the dead and soon to be dead as they have no further use for the money and I am poor and have a family to support.
