Deadly driving
When you say we dropped to #9 does that mean we went from somewhere in the 1 to 8 position down to 9. If so that would be reason to celebrate. Naturally drinking and driving will be involved. Hope that the celebration doesn't effect our new ranking
melphis.............. what good way to use your 12th post.
Excellent..... please let us hear from you more often

I doubt these figures and rankings mean anything. I have been driving drunk here in DR for almost 12 years and I have never killed anyone (although fortunately crippled a few moto conchos) nor anyone under my responsibility. I havent even really had a crash.
I cant say the same about driving in Europe.
The Dominican Republic is probably the safest place to be a drunken driver, unless you are sober.

Back at the beginning of recorded time, when I was in college/university - things were different.
Leaving the pub at closing we did not want to be arrested nor did we want to have an accident.
After some serious pondering we decided on a foolproof solution to both.
We drove home on the sidewalk......... no cars, out of police jurisdiction... perfect
Did it numerous nights........ winters were best b/c we were hidden by the snowbanks.
en serio...... my friend's little Austin Sprite fit well on those sidewalks

They should have given me already lots of medals because everyday when I go out, I save many lives. Sometimes I do regret this though.
Recently, on the forum, someone posted that we were worse than Thailand. This new data says not so and that our neighbor to the south is even worse.
10 most dangerous countries for driving:
(Number of fatalities per 100,000)
1. Namibia (45)
2. Thailand (44)
3. Iran (38)
4. Sudan (36)
5. Swaziland (36)
6. Venezuela (35)
7. Congo (34)
8. Malawi (32)
9. Dominican Republic (32)
10. Iraq (32)
I would assume any statistics from third world countries are worse than reported. Much worse.
O.K, I am going to count on Iran , Iraq and Sudan to honestly and correctly report vehicle deaths.
I knew we were bad but that list is even worse than I thought. All the third world countries either lie to encourage tourism, really have no real idea or both. The DR is the most dangerous driving I have ever seen. The DR at night is even worse than that.
