OK….here's a "litmus Test" of sorts to qualify the supposed "parallels" of Mexico as opposed to the USA….Tigerdog seems to be trying to compare the two, so lets try it this way:
Your pulled over for a traffic violation in Mexico:
A, You accept the ticket he is NOT going to give you
B, You give the "officer" your nice wrist watch that he is seriously eyeing
C, Drop a "Twenty" on the ground and tell him to have a nice day
ANSWER: C is most correct, B is almost correct
Now here in the good ol USA you get pulled over for a traffic violation:
A. Sign the ticket he is most definitely going to give you.
B. Get ready to be strong armed by the traffic laws and their penalties if you contest it. Expect to spend 5 G's Minimum !
C. Rearange your ENTIRE life 8 weeks from now to appear in court and waste most of the day. Oh and dont forget, spend 22 dollars for parking 6 blocks away
D, drop a "twenty" on the ground and tell the cop to have a nice day
ANSWER: A-B-C are correct, D will land you in jail….
Come to think of it, maybe the system in Mexico is better ! Its certainly more efficient and definitely way cheaper.
I love Mexico, I spend a LOT of time and a LOT of money there, I just wouldnt retire there thats all.
