Picture the scene:
On the road between Rio San Juan and Gaspar Hernandez, going around a blind bend only to confront a brand new white Toyota Prado on MY side of the road heading directly for me! The reason? There are potholes on his side and his four wheel drive car couldn't possibly cope with a little pothole could it?
So what could I do? Play chicken with him and hope he will move out of my way? Go on the inside and hit the potholes he was avoiding, or swerve around him off the road? Well it was a split second decision and I chose to swerve round him off road. Unfortunately I lost control and put my car in the ditch and mangled it right up!
What did the Prado driver do? Drive off! Thank you very much!
It's such a shame because I was rather pleased with my 2002 Toyota Highlander Limited with all the toys! I've only had it a month!
So what are peoples experiences with getting cars fixed like in this country? I have a comprehensive insurance policy with Monumental. What are they like? Where is the best place to get it repaired? I understand that the first step is to get a police report and some photos. I've heard something about getting the right form, then an official stamp and of course the ubiquitous bribe!
The other big problem is, my Spanish is rubbish! Any advice would be greatly apprciated!
