You see all the scofflaws who don't have a Rapidpass clogging up the toll booth lines (the same ones who run red lights and make a lane out of the shoulder of the road)?
Well these low IQ people will be the same crowd that can't figure it out or will be bragging to their neighbors how to cut the scan tag off a cheap bottle of rum and scan that instead of the same size bottle of expensive stuff. Or to not run items through the scanner and just place it in a bag you've got in your cart.
Honesty is not a widespread attribute of Dominican culture. In fact it's a disappearing trait in many countries, thanks impart to mass immigration.
It isn't IQ, intelligence, education or anything of the sort. I have seen multiple times how people, even professionals with university degrees from US universities, while in the USA act one way and in the DR act another way.
Case in point. One time I rode in an SUV being driven by someone that I know never does this in the USA. Heading from La Vega to the Acero Estrella headquarters which is on the left side of the Duarte Highway if going northbound, nearing the area to cross the Duarte Highway to enter via the small street that goes behind the headquarters instead of entering through the main entrance, he went on the retorno and then
kept driving on the center emergency lane with all the traffic and several motos whisking by going southbound except for him who was driving northbound on the southbound side. Then turn left on the the street. It was not going to a retorno further ahead to make a U turn, drive on the southbound side of the highway and then turn right. That would had been safer in all respects. I will never get in a vehicle that he is driving in the DR ever again!
Now, you would have seen the Toyota Prado doing this and probably would had thought that the driver had a bad education.
Low IQ? Bad education? Was he drinking? Do you really think he does the same on I-95? Take a wild guess. Hey, sometimes there is bumper-to-bumper traffic on all lanes in one direction. Hopping in the opposite direction and driving the wrong way in the emergency lane to the next exit shouldn't be much of an issue. It saves time. Why not do it? What is to fear? Didn't think twice to do something similar to that in the DR, but don't even think about that in the USA. The "Wrong Side" signs suddenly aren't there just for show!
That is only one example.
