Today's topic is traffic.

Something I personally cannot stand. But anyone who complains about traffic in the US has absolutely no idea how good they actually have it. The DR was rated among the top 10 countries with the highest accidents per capita - I knew we had to be on top of some lists. What an honor.

The crown jewel in this driving cluster f**k is Santo Domingo, where green, red and yellow lights are used simply to indicate that currently there is electricity in the area. Delightful.

Surely I am exaggerating, you ask. Prove it, you say. Fine.

The following video, is completely happenstance, unscripted luck of the shoot. The setting, Santo Domingo, aka Santo Man-dingo. The time, 'rush' hour. All I need to say, is keep your eye on the traffic light and enjoy wait for red to go.





Stay tuned to our next exciting episode -
