    Default Dominican Republic : Traffic Light

    Even though there are traffic laws in D.R.. no one follows them.

    Take the worst drivers of the States and multiply it by 100.
    Drive like you want.. No Rules.. In a way is great.... you can test your fear..

    But here is a picture of something I found rather funny....

    A traffic light with a timer...lol.. I told some people about this and they were like wtf I was talking about..

    Unless it's a garage queen they get trashed on all the islands. Everybody I know's that's visited inland say you'll see mirrors and stuff all around on streets, all the cars have scrapes down the sides, and dented bumpers lol!

    Anyone ridden with someone that learned to drive in NYC? The brake and gas are treated as on-off buttons and the steering only works going straight or 3'o'clock or 9'o'clock...there is no such thing as merging or smooth transitions anywhere

    No one has ever seen the timers on the traffic lights here? I see them all over the place. Later, QD.

    I never seen them until I went there. Im sure somewhere else they may have them..

    Put it this way, I stop @ green lights when im there.. Matter of fact, I stop at every intersection regardless if there is a light or not.

    The biggest problem over there are folks in Motorcycles/scooters.. they drive like they own the streets. They have no fear at all and on top of that, if you see a person wearing a helmet over there, play the lotto, you may win..

    Also, I have never seen big wheelers hauling ass like they do there.. I mean, they are booking it...

    What you think that couldve been a close accident over there is actually normal driving. Put it that way.

    When I visited the Bahamas I was going to rent one of those scooters they have near the dock, but i decided to walk around a little cause I'd heard some of the horror stories, and when I saw those crazy fuckers hauling ass around on those little side streets with all those beat up cars I said FUCK THAT!
    Who knows?
