Demonio, many thanks for the questions/answers. It takes some of the unknown out of the equation. And Zoey, thanks for the reassurances on difficulty, or lack thereof!

I can't open the link, it says the file is damaged and cannot be repaired. Help?! :(

Itsme,

I just clicked through the link and it worked fine. Might be cause you need the Adobe Reader plug-in since the questions and answers are in a PDF format. It's available as a free download HERE.

Zoey,

Sorry, didn't mean it as an insult. I'm happily no one else either. I'm quite content being me. Just copy the url by clicking on it and it'll "highlight", then either right click on it and choose copy from the pull down menu, or copy using the alt and C keys. To paste right click and choose paste, or press the alt and V keys. PM me if you need more help.

Peace -- G

LOL Thanks! Can I get one that has an English translation of the English translation? After reading the rules of the road it's amazing how many laws you see broken on a daily basis. When's the last time you've seen a child in a car seat? Passengers in a pick-up, that's a joke! It would be great to see a list of laws that are on the books and that are actually enforced.

Speaking of Rules of the Road-we are thinking of renting a car when we come down, but the "Left Turn" rules have me a bit skeptical...I understand that to turn left you pull on the right shoulder and signal 'left' and when clear, you turn left. What if there is no shoulder? And if it is two lanes each way, the same thing? We took the bus from Playa del Carmen to Chutumal and I don't remember people doing this. I don't want to get either rear-ended or broadsided by this turning issue! ... Everything else seems kinda 'normal'-well, except for the fact that a left turn signal in the driving lane means it is oklay for the guy behind you to pass you. Are these true? Any advice? Thanks (I can see that this left turn signal is going to do me in!)

When the left turn requires pulling to the right there's usually a pull-out provided. Other places have left turn lanes on the left, e.g. the retornos on the Guadlajara Hwy.

Those are the ones that scare me. I've seen more accidents where instead of the cars waiting one after another to turn they line up like a Roman chariot race. I've seen up to 6 or 7 cars lined up all waiting to get into 2 lanes.

Yup. Same thing in Seoul and Taipei. I was always in a taxi so I was even more scared than if I'd been driving!

Back atcha and thanks. Zoey

Now you guys have me confused and frustrated. Do you want to pass the driving exam, or drive safely and live??? I can't do both for you. After all, I'm not a magician. For that you need Felipe Calderon.

Thanks, I guess the one I had was too old. I was able to open the file after the download, (and I didn't get the compatibility message for once!)

Also I love my car and it would have been silly to sell it to just turn around and buy the same thing. I haven't noticed being pulled over alot with California plates but then again I drive like a Mexican so they probably don't look at me twice and if they do all they'd see is a blur.

Yup, you do drive like a Mexican 130 KPH and had time to take your hands off the wheel and take a snapshot. Zoey

Zoey, that fool doesn't know what it's like to drive a REAL car. When he grows up, maybe we can talk.

That is 130mph, 220 kph as the smaller numbers are kph, car is from the US so it is MPH.

So what is a real car? What do you drive in Mexico?
