TRAFFIC WOES COULD BE RESOLVED

Rising fuel prices may be a dark cloud with asilver lining!It seems that the Dominican Republic hasjust now realized what so many of us haveknown for years. It’s chaos out there on theroads of this country. Most of us feel we areputting our lives at risk just going to thegrocery store.Recently, numerous reports have surfaceddetailing the problems on Dominican road-ways. From the fact that most Dominicandrivers are unlicensed to the admission bydrivers that they blatantly and knowinglyviolate the rules of the road and therealization that the hundreds of thousands of tickets and fines issued yearly apparently inno way impedes these actions.None of this is a shock to anyone who lives ordrives here.But a solution may be at hand!Weekly spikes in fuel prices may, with luck,lead to reduced vehicles on the road.Of course, if the prices get much higher,most of us won’t be able to afford to drivefar. Maybe we can turn the roads into pedes-trian walkways. Let’s face it - you can get adecent pair of walking shoes for the price of just one gallon of gas these days!
