History was made today. I, finally, got my well deserved ticket today in santiago. I crossed a red light, not knowing a serious Amet police was waiting on me. He was upset that I broke the law while he was watching me up close. My crime was, i never saw him. So he was obviously upset at my audacity to commit a traffic offense in his presence. To my misfortune, I didn't know this particular police. He wouldn't listen to my BS and didn't care whom I knew in his department. After taking away my license, the smart *** tells me "well, since you know my boss, then call him to get your license back....I am sure he will help you".
So for the first time in 7 yrs of driving like crazy dominicans, I finally earned my ticket. Thanks god it happened today, I just didn't know what else to do to provoke them to give me the ticket. At first I was happy to have finally done it but then I became a bit sad. Driving in santiago is no fun anymore. So much damn Amet police around, I feel like back in NYC. It seems, no more driving around with loud stereo blasting, without seatbelt and talking on cel. Now I must be more careful crossing red lights, these guys are everywhere. Where is the fun in driving carefree in DR? I am moving back to civilization.
Hahahaha, don't take it all too seriously. I will get my license back tomorrow, without even going to the court.
its this country wonderful?
