There are three main issues here which contribute to the statistics which are essentially correct. First, the drivers are Dominican and for the most part they do not have respect for themselves as people or for others. So why bother with how one drives or acts toward other people. Second, they have little experience in driving. They did not learn from their parents as their parents did not drive. This is a Country of first generation drivers. So, the responsibilties coming from a parent talking to you are not inherent in their driving skills. Third; the equipment is usually not in the best of regard. So, things do not work well; lights, brakes, steering etc. The roads are not good, too many pot holes and poorly constructed streets whether they be the highways or the byways. The number of motos, of course contributes as do the number of poorly trained drivers with no licenses, no insurance, no registrations, for the most part, they do not exist so why bother thinking or caring with others on the road. It is a nightmare. I have driven all over the world, this is the worst of it all. Primarily it is the respect issue and the non considerations of the people for others. But we are here and hopefully we can impart some new feelings amongst the newer drivers in the years to come.
