[QUOTE=Jaosousa; 1415367]Maybe you should post an advertisement on the ISG.

If a monger accidentally strikes a motoconcho guy while driving one of your vehicles and the motoconcho guy sustains injuries, what happens to the driver of your vehicle? Does he get locked up as occurred to DW (aka HB) in Puerto Plata?[/QUOTE]I may be wrong but I don't think it matters whose rental you have, you are going to get locked up until the injured person is compensated for their injuries and the damage to their moto.

Have you ever rented a car in the DR?

I have been told that not everyone gets locked up.

I did not now you could advertise on ISG, that is why I have not posted a link

Paid Advertisements, need to contact the owner of this site.

British holiday rep. 37, held without charge for seven months over 'murder' of husband she claims she ran over in a tragic accident.[/QUOTE]Your first post and a negative one.

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. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus[/url]

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?

Millions of tourists visit the DR every year without a problem or a hitch (old and young, different nationalities).[/QUOTE]Your numbers are a little off on the amount of people incarcerated on their DR trips. Of 73 FB group members at least 3 have been in a DR Jail and one has been held for months and still isn't free. Do you think you could help him?

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.

[QUOTE=Jaosousa;1415577]Hillbilly and Redneck do they mean the same?[/QUOTE]Two very different things. A hillbilly comes from the Appalachian mountains as the "hill" in the name refers to.

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.

I have been told that not everyone gets locked up.[/QUOTE]No, I don't know that as a fact. Read my post again,"I may be WRONG"."I don't THINK it matters".

Do YOU know anyone that has injured a person in the DR that WASN'T locked up?

British holiday rep. 37, held without charge for seven months over 'murder' of husband she claims she ran over in a tragic accident.[/QUOTE]You believe everything you read in a tabloid British newspaper? You think the people who operate the British newspaper might be slightly biased in favor of a British citizen over a non-white Dominican? Do you know for certain that she has not been charged and not been before a judge? Did you interview the witnesses? Do you know if there was a history of fights? Do you believe that women never wrongfully murder husbands?

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.)

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).

The back of my white neck might get red next week (if I don't put sun block lotion).

The reason I won't is because of the subject at hand. 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.

[QUOTE=Manizales911;1415715]No, I never have and never will.[/QUOTE]Thank you.

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.
