And don't forget that horn. If the vehicle in front of you is passing a vehicle in front of him, pass them both so that you have three vehicles side by side in a line across the highway, going in the same direction. If you're a publico driver, this is a great way to scare the hell out of any tourists in your car. When driving at night keep your highbeams on all the time. If drivers of oncoming cars find them too bright, well, that's what sunglasses are for.
Seatbelts are silly gringo decorations.
If you see that the car you are overtaking is being driven by someone you know, stay alongside him for a few miles so you can have a chat. Of course, given the number of motorcycles on the road here, there are some special rules for them, too. When driving along that stretch of highway which runs through Cabarete, go at your flat out, top speed. If you see a traffic jam up ahead, just use the sidewalks. If you should run down a pedestrian, it's his fault for not jumping out of the way quickly enough.
