The more I hear about these horror stories the more I wonder how Dominicans can drive around. I mean if they have an accident they are accountable as well arent they? This definitely explains why everyone drives away when they have any type of accident especially when it involves injuries.
As one of the previous posts stated having to pay up to $3000 for a damaged vehicle and even more if there are injuries just isn't possible for a lot of travelers. So now someone who has a credit card with maybe a $5000 credit line and the $2000 they brought for their vacation just won't be able to pay that much.
Theres also quite a few people who can't simply call back home and say hey I need $5000 cash to get out of jail. Its not like you can get that from an ATM even if you had that in your checking account.
