This is exactly what I have been posting for the last week. This will be my route for the near future. The traffic pretty heavy??? Me thinks that could be a deterant to some thug trying to get behind me and muscle me over for a rip off. PERFECT :mad:

Triples your chances for a ticket by an (honest?) cop is the only problem.

Been kind of nice to make it through the questionable section near Playas and make a beeline for the toll road.

wasn't there a story.....

awhile back about the road along the border fence and up until the toll booth supposedly being a "no pull over zone - let the gringo go" area? if that is the case, just stand on the accelerator until you hit the toll booth. hopefully, the punks will bail at the turn to playas.

anyone have any thoughts on this?

They could always shoot at you if you don't pull over is the only drawback I'm thinking of...
