Bok said:IIRC they were tropical helmets :ermm:
When I first came to the DR I stayed in Monte Cristi and when leaving the town there was always this white helmet stopping me about a mile after the town limit. He had a huge mole with a long black hair in it on the chin.
Back then I could only say 'cerveza' and 'que calor' but that was enough to communicate with this guy. It was hot and he wanted money for a cold one. I gave him 10 pesos and moved on.
Later as our relationship had evolved I didn't have to stop completely. I just held the 10 pesos out the window and he'd grab it as I drove by.
In town after his "working hours" we would nod good evening and go about our business.
No helmet (just the mole) = you don't have to give me any money right now. :bandit: :bandit: :bandit:

On a serious note, What would they do if everyone who was victimized by their dishonesty took a stance and flat out refused to pay the bribe? sooner or later the corruption would stop.
