I understand these deportees are guys one does not
want to run into, I imagine they are DESPERATE.
Spend time in a US prison, tossed across into TJ
with a few $ in their pocket |
then are dumped by the thousands at the turnstyles in TJ. I think most just cross back to the USA within 24 hours or so. The rest are men without a
country for the most part. They re-group with other rejects from the prisons and find a way to survive. They usually don't have work papers, not
that anyone would hire them. They do speak perfect English and some will prey on the goodwill of the more vulnerable. They aren't all bad, they just
made really horrible choices so far in life. It's a huge social problem in every border city where these criminal deportations happens.

So the poor man was being passed by Mexicans on the Transpeninsular for 3 hours before a Gringo gave him gas? South of El Rosario? That is only about
20 miles from San Quintin, where the friendly Mexicans are.

edit: i guess me recounting this "story" that prolly never really happened as long as you weren't there, right?
what's your point, other than the obvious one on the top of your head! i'm not stating anything as fact, other than what was told to me by a guy on
the road to nowhere....

All the time anywhere I have been in Mexico I have found the Mexican People as a whole to be most helpful of anyone. every time I have needed roadside
assistance the AMERICAN plated vehicles will blow you off the road as opposed to the locals stopping to help. If I had to demonize the local MEXICAN
People the way some on this board do you would see me blow your doors off as I HEADED FOR THE BORDER

If this happened on the way to the toll road from San Diego the Tijuaneros on their way home to Playas de Tijuana are the culprits. Very aggressive
and don't stop for dogs or people in the street either. It's gotten better since they widened the roads... kind of.
Your toll road ticket is your travel hazard insurance. Some vehicles enter and exit the toll road at exits that do not require payment- so they are
not covered. We had our windshield cracked by a rock in the repaving area and they said they would pay for it... but please come back and speak to
the inspector about it-- manana. lol

Can I combine power and anonymity and make a case for that being the cause of aggressive driving in Mexico then?

NO.

( I guess all driving is anonymous in Mexico because no one assumes the plates on your car actually belong to you. ) |
Cute.

Reminds me of driving in La Paz, I stop at crosswalks for pedestrians, here in Ojai, and everywhere. I like being courteous to people in crosswalks.
The drivers of La Paz, all, and I mean all honked at me, fliped me off, yelled, and generally gave me chit. In a hurry to go nowhere. Just a plain
lack of civility, says it all. I didn't care I still stopped.
