So, I am in La Romana , after a week of work. Sunday morning (around 10:30 AM) and my wife and i hit the road to come back to the North coast.
Still in La Romana I come to a major intersection, and I enter the left turn lane with my signal flashing and I stop. The squeegee boys clean the windshield and we wait for the light. There is a Jeepeta in the lane next to me.
The light turns and I look both ways . And start to proceed into the intersection. I don't move 3 feet when suddenly in my front bumper is a Lunatic Moto . He is racing AGAINST the light , on the WRONG side of the road and in the pedestrian sidewalk and a ridiculous speed.
There was NO WAY to see him with the jeepeta beside me. I Bump him.
There are 2 Amet officers and one comes running to the "scene"
There is minor damage. the "chico" is running around and getting his bike up then he sees me getting out of the car and starts to limp ! LOL
I of course am worried but then he starts yelling how I should be watching where I am going !
I smile, said , hear me well. I pay NOTHING , you are in the wrong.
And I sat on the fender. My wife comes out , the Amet officer is sympathetic to me.
Another Amet officer comes over and we move off to the side of the road.
The Arguement begins! I sat there and smiled. The first Amet officer is smiling and I think amazed too but the second officer tries to convince me that , that is the way it is here !
I pointed to the "ding" on my front bumper and said , Okay I will pay for the ding on his bike and he pays for the ding on my bumper. Seemed like a good deal for HIM since he was clearly in the wrong ! And it is witnessed by the Amet officer. He says no deal, I said CALL THE POLICE.
Amet checked all my Docs and with my up to date Current insurance in hand, looked at the Expired card and tried to say I had none ! LOL
They tried every angle ! It was hilarious !
That about ended it.
it is amazing the nerve that they have. Another man "claiming" to be his father acted aggressive towards me. If it was me I would be booting my son's butt all the way home and telling him how lucky he is to be alive.
It will never cease to amaze me how they put money over all else. How they have no sense of pride or dignity. How they will try to convince you !
He got away with it ! But not the payment ! He would be in jail today in a country with civilized highways .
I thank goodness that it was not worse.........
