Sorry about that. For some reason, perhaps because it is long, the link on this site is split but if you highlight the whole thing and open it in a separate tab, at least in my firefox it works.
Enjoyed your link. I did not know Cole as a pianist but as a vocalist. Thanks.

Not sure. To the rap crowd, it might look tacky or quaint but I just thought it was beautiful and wanted to share with the spanish speaking / understanding crowd. The words, simple as they are, sound even more beautiful in a voice that golden with what I thought was a cuban rhythm.

No Complaints from me
Jackson says I can only post actionable information, I will follow his rules and if there are future posts will only have information about prostitutes (cost and location). I will turn PM off.

The minimum detention period is 48 hours; however, detentions frequently last until a judicial decision is reached (often weeks or months) , or until a waiver is signed by the injured party (usually as the result of a cash settlement)."
Not all accidents with bodily injuries fall under this definition (no death and no serious injury). Who makes the determination regarding serious injury, probably the police officer on the scene (maybe don't get the police involved). Drive slow or in slow traffic and less likely anyone will get seriously hurt if an accident occurs. Some places have more motos than others, so be more careful in those cities. I have driven on highways and roads that were empty.
Driving under the influence is not a good idea in the Dom Rep.
If the police on the scene want a driver in custody that custody is not always in a jail. National / Alamo on the recent cars I have rented had insurance with Universal (seems to be a well known company in the DR) ;
http://www.universal.com.do/Inicio
I have asked numerous times at National / Alamo and been told no jail.
You and I have met and I respect you, but I would believe if you were to have an accident with a Dominican, they will complain about their "injuries" to a point that you will have to pay a settlement or be inconvenienced with the detention.
I have a friend who works for Rica and has a company vehicle. 2 guys on a motoconcho crashed into his vehicle on purpose, then claimed injury. He got detained until Rica put up a guarantee. Later in court different motoconcho guys showed up, with a lawyer. The cop that was in court knew they weren't they same guys and the judge dismissed the case. These are dominicans against dominicans and my friend was detained, even though his company insures him. The injuries were false. Imagine if the samething happens with an american? Lock up until cash is extorted for all parties.

it is not clear what hillybilly means, but just in case let me state that jaosousa invited me and my gf out, he paid for everything although i did offer to pay our share. although he had never met either of us before he gave my gf a large bottle of perfume which has lasted her until recently. we had a good outing to costambar and a lot of laughs.
i posted as much at the time and i have never implied anything different in speech or writing to anyone. i have never met js since as he doesn't come to the north coast much but i would be delighted to do so anytime when the drinks will be on me.

Hahaha, perfect analogy Sir Charles. It's like the guys that walk around wearing expensive jewelry and cameras,"I've never been robbed so it must be safe".[/QUOTE]Every pitbull who bit someone had to have its first victim. Prior to that, it never bit anyone. Never!

The Dominican Law you referenced states that only death and serious injury require custody. According to Dominican Law not everyone gets locked after an accident.
I have been in a minor accident where nothing happened (absolutely nothing, zero). There is at least one post on this forum where a guy paid the medical bills of some person who got hurt in an accident (you can do a search and I am sure you will find it).
I may post further information.

I'll answer your question when you respond to my question (I have asked you basic, easy non-confrontational questions recently and your response one time was to curse at me and try to insult me).
This is true but you're still in their custody and can't leave and are at their mercy. Still better than being in jail though.

In addition, all of the other transportation options fit my needs, I understand the desire for some people to need or want to rent a car, I don't have that same desire or need. I have traveled all over the island north, south, east and west without renting one.
I don't need to have rented a car to opine what I think to be the general consensus on this board has been to what happens if a gringo hits and injures a local. We have a well experienced and respected member of this board that went through the experience personally. There also was a very defined report not that long ago on this forum that laid it out in extreme detail, if I can find it I will post it, if any other member knows the post I am referring to please post it, it wasn't that long ago, a month maybe.

There is an insurance waiver that is called something like Casa de Conductor. If you are involved in a car accident that would normally require you to go to the jail you are put up in a hotel instead while the case is being investigated. I think the hotel is located on Maximo Gomez or near there.

No one has contacted me about any car accidents in the DR.
If you want to post falsities on this site, that is your choice. You have called me a piece of shit in the past because I wrote to another member that it is not a good idea to drink and drive. I'll be in DR tomorrow.
