there it is. five years of driving in this crazy country and PUM! a wreck with a concho car. a crazy concho driver, too, but at least he wasn't aggressive and mean!
the accident was my fault (oo, i admit it!) because i missed one of those few stop signs you actually have to stop for and rammed right into the side of crazy concho. luckily no one was hurt.
now, here's the killer. the car belonged to someone else. who didn't want us to go to the police. hmmm. sadly, our bank account was just a little too low today to give him the 20Gs he wanted out of pocket and we headed, per his suggestion, to the Casa De Conductor. DR1 friends, REGISTER YOUR CARS WITH THE CDC. it could save you a huge headache. unfortunately we aren't registered and neither was the other car.
off to the fortaleza we go. only to find out buddy - a conscientious concho driver - has no insurance and no liscence. Sure, he's got the papers, but they are both like 2 years vencidos.
today's a holiday, so tomorrow we take the sworn statement to get legalize and to insurance. we got to drive my wreck home, but he got the lovely priveledge of leaving his behind until he gets his sh*t together.
the amets were actually quite friendly and helpful, and besides the nutbag ladies who wanted me to take them to HOMS (and when i offered to take them to cabral y baez left the scene) t was not the terrible, horrible experince many would have had me believe.
