What happens when you get into an accident with no insurance, and hurt someone/damage their car?

- Start date
i'm thinking to move to the DR from Imperial Beach Ca.
My impression wasn't that wuarhat was defending or advocating the idea. Quite to the contrary.
Whatever, it is a full moon on this board this morning.
I think I'll make a pitcher of freshly squeezed OJ and Barcelo Platino with a splash of club soda and some fresh fruit!

Sounds lovely. Wuarhat was replying to the notion that simply because you've gotten away with something for a long time it must be legal.
Hmmmm, i did not wish to start a fight here. You may be surprised to find that some older guys, stay in shape, know how to treat and attract a lady, and I admit that i have been seeing a 20 something here in socal. (and i am definitely not rich) I am rarely taken for my actual age, probably as much for the attitude that I have, vicariously achieved by having a just turned 19 yr old U.S.MARINE son, and interacting with him and his friends.
I have also been in contact with some women in the DR via the internet and email and Skype. it is what it is, and since i have a choice for female companions it is my choice and certainly not subject to condemnation. BTW, here in the states and i am sure elsewhere, everyone uses everyone for something, either overtly or covertly.
so that written, I do appreciate the comments to my post, I have received some very valuable advice. I am looking forward to this trip, which in answer to another poster, i am planning for myself. no travel agent, just good old homework, such as finding this forum and doing a lot of reading.
Be well and happy, let's all be ladies and gentlemen, the world has enough unrest without adding to it.
Peace

There you go! You are fit, look younger, treat women well and seem to have a positive attitude. One of my points is that if you can attract young girls in your country ony based on your personal and physical qualities, you can also attract women in other countries without them having an ulterior motive, and this is something that usually people in these forums don't believe.
Most seem to think that no matter how charming you are or how attractive you are, you can only get girls if you have money. Well, money and a green card is definitely a plus but if you've got charm there you'll have it here too.
Maybe I should have just opened a new thread about it instead of just trying to discuss it in yours!
Anyway, You seem like a positive and relaxed guy! I'm sure you'll have a great time in the DR!
Welcome!
You,you,you,mean that all those 18 year old,sexy,passionate,destitute "Dominicanas" I have been "Dating" for the past 26 years,don't find a fat,old,bald,ugly,stupid,small dicked,65 year old man that sexy?????????

the trip is worth it for the experience Cabarete is unique , bars and restaurants right on the ocean , the three types of surfing , wind surfing ,kite surfing , board surfing within a 15 min distance makes it one of the most impressive from this point .Cabarete is also safe , as long as you aren't stupid .Like anywhere dumb is dumb anywhere. explore, do your home as best as you can .The learning Spanish thing . NOT IMPORTANT. THEY DON'T SPEAK SPANISh here. ,unless you are in the capital ,Santo domingo and Santiago .,maybe las TERRANAS ( can't say Have not lived there ) but the rest of the the country And I am speaking GENERALLY you will have to learn anew type of Spanish called CAMPO SPANISH. So the. Rosetta stone experience. , y not but that Is not too important. Cabarete is likely one of the most gringo areas where Spanish is not too worrisome do TO The well the culture wants to be American due to TV AND WHAT THEY SEE , THE ILLUSION . However I have had boots on the ground here in Cabarete 4. 8 years so I am only one opinion in a cluster . check it out , just don't think for one second , you will make any kind of income here .!
you don't have to find trouble... sometimes trouble finds YOU. Didn't happen in the D.R., but a couple of months ago, I was stopped, waiting for traffic to pass so I could turn into a driveway, and got slammed in the rear out of nowhere.
Cristobal... may be.. just may be, if you look for women your own age.....you will find a true soul mate and "real" happiness.
There are much better places to live. If you want to live on the beach try Ecuador. The dollar goes much further and you will live a better quality of life. There are too many prostitutes in Cabarete and Sosua. Very little, if any at all, family values and everyone has an excuse to be a con: poverty. We have traveled to many countries and the DR is one of the worse places that we have been.

Worst Case Scenarios.
I?ve seen relationships carry on for years, often with the tourist coming to visit as often as every few weeks, or as few as once a year, with the relationship held together through phone calls and e-mail. I?ve seen cases where locals have even married, moved to the host country of the tourist, then two or three years later a brother or sister is helped to get a visa, only to turn out to be their lover, not their sibling! I?ve seen tourists that have relocated to the country, married and had children, only to have the tourist die of ?mysterious causes? five years later, leaving behind their estate to their local spouse and children. Maybe these were extreme circumstances, but it happens. You may never really ?know?, as long as the ?dynamic? described at the start of this page, exists. Maybe you?ll get lucky and meet one of the ?good ones?. Everybody is sure they did. Almost nobody does.
If this appeals to you then you have the perfect place to go to. No problem staying here beyond the days permitted by the tourist visa.
Also, you should consider getting your criminal record expunged. Very easy to do (do not need a lawyer) and this will allow you to put it where it belongs: in the past.
I am in the process of helping a friend determine if he is the father a child born in the DR. It is amazing how many of these women claim that at least three men are the fathers of their child.
Good luck!
