    Traffic Laws and equipment:
    Like most things here it is started without much thought to how it will work and affect the different income levels among the masses. My point is simply that before the Traficos start asking for First-Aid Kits, etc. people should be notified and given at least 60-days to assemble what will be required.
    In addition it should be mandatory for all car dealers to provide an approved first-aid kit with the sale of every car along with triangles and any other mandatory equipment.
    *example: there is a guy that has a rental business just down the street from the reteve inspection station. He rents you the triangles, etc, then after your inspection you return them. How can this create safer highways? That is as bad as the guy they caught selling drivers license tests for $100 ………… did he loose his job, no because he is a government employee. Putting people on the road without knowing the safety rules and regulations is criminal and ultimately will cost lives.
    Once more we have to restrict traffic with the last number of our tags but at the same time we have Beggars, people selling all sorts of things holing up traffic and they don’t care what color the light is. Just as bad; are the cars, trucks, and taxis parked on yellow curbs creating massive problems all day long.
    Everyone could make a difference here by just being courteous! When you see someone trying to pull out in an intersection; slow down, or maybe speed up if necessary to allow him or her the space to merge into the lane. Most of the time; it is just the opposite here which keeps traffic bottled up, and drivers very frustrated. Just this simple kindness will get everyone home or to work quicker and happy. Let’s put Pura Vida in our driving and arrive safely and with a smile.
