I enjoy the adventure, the spectacular views, the people and food.
I too have driven since my 1st day here -- started in SD... albeit a weekend, but Monday came fast and hard
if you ask me , Paris takes the cake... try the peripherique some day... or try Madrid, or Rome
Lunatics abound.
Its not that hard here, but some always make it sound more difficult than it is....
caution, caution, caution................ or go to England and switch sides.....
you could die walking on the sidewalk in sosua independence day parade. driving here is ok.
Also driven from day 1, in Santo Domingo, at all hours and in all kinds of neighborhoods. I do agree the driving horror is greatly overreacted. I think Dominicans are proud of driving messy so they keep the legend alive. What's a bother is the selfishness and complete lack of anticipation (like blocking an intersection when you can know the light will change in a while), but dangerous? No.
And the good part is you can get away with the moron approach yourself as well.
