Motor Conches

[Don Tomas]

Usually they carry a helmet for when they see AMET, or when another moto gives them the signal that AMET is ahead (knocking on your head is the signal). They don't wear them for safety, only to avoid fines from AMET.

From what I was told (and I don't speak perfect Spanish) but the way the law is written is they only have to have a helmet, they don't actually have to be wearing it...

[RickRock]

Nah, you have to have it on. Trust me, I've had my bike impounded a few times in La Romana until I returned with a helmet and put it on. I also had to pay a 50 peso fine.

Ok I trust you, but I was also told it can be any kind of helmet, like a hard hat. Is that true?

[RickRock]

Yeah.. it can also be a batting helmet for baseball, or even a plastic replica like they give you at Dairy Queen.

I think its around $30. Going from Sosua by taxi maybe $20 or $30.

Sosua to airport by taxi is 200-500 pesos and a moto is 100 pesos.

Taxi rates at the taxi stand on Pedro Clisante and Dr Rosen is $20 USD, Sosua to POP.

If you are goping at night it will cost more. If during the day, Moto Conch to PP at the hospital (big round thing on the road for turning) and catch a public taxi to Sosua. The moto conch to PP should cost around 50 pesos at most. The public taxi to Sosua is 25 pesos. It is a shared taxi (kind of like a bus) where people are gettiong in and out of the taxi along the way. But it is a cheap way to travel.

Better to die at your desk in your office back home then to get hit by a big truck in DR.

Those trucks are flying on that highway. The speeds are too high to justify the risk.
