    Serious question about a speeding ticket

    The purpose of the law is to generate revenue, not safety. That is what I was talking about above. What you want is a different system where actual harm is punished. I agree but that's not what the current system is.

    Serious question about a speeding ticket

    My beef is more with the system. If you're going to have that system, then it should be enforced the same to everybody and a ticket should be issued.

    Serious question about a speeding ticket

    You are probably right. People spend their entire lives in one system and get used to it.

    Serious question about a speeding ticket

    Right. This is a system without traffic law enforcement (mostly). You can drive how you want and not be hit with tickets. I'm just curious which system you like better. I actually like the system here better. You can just drive how you want and not always have to look over your shoulder for a...

    Have you realized in Costa Rica we have almost zero traffic law enforcement? If so, which system do you prefer?

    Serious question about a speeding ticket

    I agree that laws should be enforced. If they are on the books then all should be subject to them in the same way. My disagreement is to the traffic law system itself. Of course, I realize I'm in the minority as the current system is what people are used to. The current traffic laws are not a...

    Serious question about a speeding ticket

    No, the question was whether he DESERVED the ticket. In my opinion, there should be no ticket because there was no victim. If he was speeding and he hit something causing damage or hit someone, than he should be punished harshly. However, if there was no victim, then the driver was likely...

    Serious question about a speeding ticket

    No, the US would be a much better place if it only enforced laws in which there was an actual victim.

    Has Anyone Here......

    I've caught 5. One in Oakland, One in Texas and 3 at Comerica Park in Detroit. All 5 were foul balls I actually dropped 3 of them and then picked up the ball. One I caught with my hands and one I caught with my hat without dropping them.

    My view in CR the next 6-8 weeks.

    Marijuana here is socially acceptable and its use is widespread. All drugs here are easily obtained, including prescription drugs. Costa Rica recently legalized growing marijuana for personal use. Technically, possession of marijuana in public is illegal but it's not really enforced by the cops...

    My view in CR the next 6-8 weeks.

    Anybody can buy real estate here. I'm not involved in the rental real estate market but I know several people that are. You can make some money at it. Most people that are involved in it buy rentals on or very near the beach. It might be tricky to run a real estate rental business if you're not...

    No taxes on investments. Property taxes are very low, about 0.1-0.2% a year. Income taxes are low here too, 10-15%.

    My view in CR the next 6-8 weeks.

    Medical care here is ranked one spot higher than the US in last years rankings. It's also very cheap, maybe 20-30% of US costs. if you want to get private medical insurance it's approximately $100 or so per month. There is also the national run healthcare system that you must pay into if you are...

    That's a lot for Imperial. That's like $2.50 a beer when you should be paying 1/2 that. Alcohol prices vary wildly! Once you are here awhile you will figure out where to get all the good deals.
