    I am impressed! And I mean it...

    To add: Tailing the front car by 4 yds. at 120 mph+ w/ the left turn light continously on ON, has the same meaning.
    Get your sorry ass out of the left lane...

    You don't need 6 months of tuition either, but there is a multiple choice exam done on a computer, blood test, eye test and an actual driving test. Some of these can be overlooked with the exception of the blood test.

    Check out the requirements and current costs here:

    Well, that certainly seems a bit more reasonable. Though I'd still bet serious money that less than 10% have driver's licenses.

    Dominicans take a test, yes and no questions on a pc. Then wait 45 days and take a road test. 20K pesos for a bribe,,,,,,,,,,no way do they pay that kind of money

    These are the fees as of last year:

    Driver’s License: RD$455
    Exam: RD$200
    Medical Exam RD$40
    Classification Fee: RD$75
    Taxes: RD$20
    Cost of Forms and Services: RD$85
    Total: RD$855
    One of my friends girlfriends needed drivers license he is going through process now .
    While the amount in question I don't quite remember? he was taking her through proper channels rather than pay bribe maybe you know him he has the used clothes store near sports bar on south leg of main entrance on your way down to the beach from PJs in that little mini mall.

    Yep the bribe in question he did not want to pay bribe he wanted her to pass her drivers test on her own.
    I am in love with Jimmydr. I want him to be mine forever!

    My novia borrrowed a rental CRV yesterday to pick me up at the airport, she has taken some lessons but is still very green, I would never have the balls to drive here with as little experience as she has. When she was driving through her residential area she was going through intersections without looking for any traffic coming from other directions.

    They drive like they live their whole lives, that is without any consideration for the future consequences of their actions.
