Literally everything he showed us about traffic we saw happen (though not to us) at some point during the trip.

Still had a great time and would go back.

A test? I rent from Hertz and they just handed me the keys.



They did mention the first time that the bus drivers do drive in the middle of the road and I'd need to learn to drive with the driver's side mirror in the vegetation.
