President Danilo Medina inaugurated a park dedicated to driver education in the Juan Bosch City grounds in the province of eastern Santo Domingo. Bad driving habits are at the core of the high rate of accidents in the country.
The 8,600m2 complex is designed to educate kids and adolescents on good driving habits as well as traffic laws. The authorities expect 15,000 children a year to learn to drive at the site.
