They often say it's in the journey, not the destination, where you learn life's greatest lessons. Those people have never tried driving in Costa Rica, where those supposed lessons will beat you over the head and leave you stuck in a river in the middle of nowhere.
The popular navigation smartphone app Waze listed Costa Rica as the tenth worst country in the world to drive a vehicle on its 1st. Global Driver Satisfaction Index released Thursday.
Traffic Police reported that 19 people died in drunk driving accidents from January through August, a 46 percent increase over the same time period last year.
For the duration of the two-week vacation period, Traffic Police will maintain 15 roadway checkpoints throughout the country and will designate a total of 744 officers, 152 police cars and 217 motorcycles for surveillance efforts.
