I think you hit the nail on the coffin. I think this is the only way to drive here. Come to think of it. Everything has numbed down or dumb down to my level and I don't get as frustrated as much. I try to pass by other cars and if others are passing me at going between speed of 100-120, I just let them by. Now if there's way to stop all those slow moving trucks coming to left when ever I try to over take them I'll be all set..

With all due respect I would not make it practice to go faster than the general flow of traffic here in the DR. I've been driving here all over the island since 1999. Obviously at times on the highway one needs to go fast to get around a vehicle but this isn't good general advice. The two main driving rules here are "slow transitions" and "project your intentions". Also, since this is the DR nobody is in a hurry. If you are still in hurry it's because you haven't become aplatanado enough yet.
