Your post may say what the law is. It doesn't mean that, that is what happens in every case or in a high percentage of cases. (Adultery may be illegal or anal sex illegal in some States in the US, doesn't mean every person who does those things goes to jail).
People on this site have real world experience driving cars in the DR and all of the guys I know are not paranoid. I have driven in the DR for over 8 years, never a problem. Great country and I love to see it. If you drive slow and take it easy, anyone can drive in the DR.

Dominican law requires that a driver be taken into custody for driving under the influence or being involved in an accident that causes serious injury or death, even if the driver is insured and appears not to have been at fault. 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).

There are guys on this site who have been in accidents in the DR and did not go to jail. There is at least one member I believe who posted that he took the injured person to a medical clinic and paid some of the medical expenses (if I remember correctly under $100). If you were interested in renting a car, I could provide more detailed information.
Some people in the United States go to jail after some car accidents in the United States, deservedly so.

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.

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).

Lots of bad behavior by newspapers (Judith Miller and WMDs not in Iraq, New York Times; Phone hacking by Rupert Murdoch newspaper employees in Britain; Rupert Murdoch's New York Post bad coverage of the recent events in Boston).
DW aka Hillbilly was partially correct when he wrote that everyone in New York is a piece of Sh_t (fox news, fox business channel, wall street journal, new york post all based in new York city and "owned" (controlling stake) by Australian Rupert Murdoch, who lives in a 20 million dollar apartment in New York City.)

A redneck can be from anywhere. Take, for instance, Jeff Foxworthy, the author of "You Might be a Redneck if." He is from Hapeville, Georgia, which is 5 minutes from downtown Atlanta. Just the other day a female friend from Syracuse, New York was telling me her town is full of rednecks.

Depends which type of person goes on vacation or is an ex-pat. There is people on this site that couldn't find there way to a airport 25 miles away without stopping and asking for directions, and there is others would could travel North to South on Hispanola without a map or guide, naturally the later is more at risk.
The woman seemed to live there, only one person I know lives in the DR never had an accident and drives doesn't get out much and drives a large vehicle.

Why would the guy not be in the SUV with his wife and instead be on a motorbike driving in front of her? Maybe he was trying to get away from her and she purposely ran him in over and maybe she deserves to spend a good long period of time in jail. (Maybe you feel it is OK for a white person to murder a person of color without consequence). Habeus corpus, the former "cowboy" president (born in New Haven, Connecticut) wiped his ass with the notion of Habeas corpus. A writ of Habeas corpus is a writ (legal action) that requires a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus
If you believe you will get locked up for nothing in the DR, maybe you should never visit the DR. Millions of tourists visit the DR every year without a problem or a hitch (old and young, different nationalities).
Hillbilly and Redneck do they mean the same?
