Un imb?cil, or as Mr C would say - burro de dos patas or animal con ropa.

There is an error in that graphic. No dominican would use their turn signal.


The first thing I learned to do when I got here is to look to my left when stopped to make a left turn. I've averted several crashes where some idiot decided to pass me on the left when I was making a left turn.

this is so dumb. you don't try to enter the right hand turn line because those evil minded drivers who are already there will never let you in. no. you go all the way to the front and make a sharp right turn right in front on the car that is first in line. and you will know when because you have already cut his view of the traffic incoming from the left.

it's like you guys do not drive here at all! tut, tut, tut!

Remember,

when you are about to make that right turn to look to the right because there's a good chance someone is in the lane you are about to turn into, coming toward you to turn left from the wrong lane.

it's most likely a moto with a full gas bottle and a pregnant mother with two kids, 14 shopping bags and live chicken.

Before driving in the DR take driving lessons in:
India,Bangladesh,Turkey,Rome and Paris!
Remember you are surrounded, expect the unexpected!
Watch for motos and potholes.
Driving is like a life video game.:classic:

Bumper Cars, only you are not allowed to hit the other Bumper car.

That guy is a loser, he could have waited to get to the corner to make the right turn, what's the rush?

Thanks frank!!!
Just as soon as all the Dominicans have a chance to see that Public Service Notice, our problems will be over.
All it takes is a little education.
Look how well the "No A La Violencia" campaign has worked!
I think I will have to leave the DR very soon, it's becoming a "Garden of Eden"!!!!

This is actually what I thought when I saw this picture, the imbeciles are the ones that won't let you in, so if I have to fight to get in, I better fight at the front end of the line, right?

I think one of Darwin's theories is the larger vehicle has the right of way in the DR. That way Jose Darwin Ortega. Sadly, he is no longer with us. He drove a motor bike and didn't practice what he preached.
