No, you didn't. You listed 10 beaches within a very small area of Mexico that you said were "fun beaches to drive on", not "many areas of Mexico" nor provided any information regarding the local govts. "encouraging" driving on the beach. Which I seriously doubt govt. officials would publicly do, as it's illegal.

Thanks Chippy, I wasn't aware of that one. I will have to get down there and let some air out of my tires one of these days. Looks like thousands of trucks and Jeeps on the beach during Semana Santa!

People who drive on busy beaches are jerks. If you are fat and need ro drive on the beach because you weeze after walking 100 yards, please limit your driving to remote beaches where other lazy drivers hang out. :light:





Woke!

Thanks for the list of beaches where yahoos drive on the beach. I'll stay away. It's a very uncool thing to do. IMHO, of course.

And just this past weekend at another race (coyote 300) in la paz area a child was killed by out of control race car that veered off course into a house and yard of a house. The race course was literally a few feet from the house. Car left course, hit child, hit house, came to rest adjacent to house.

Really should put barriers up along course if they plan go race less than a few feet from wall of house.

How about new rule to race no closer than 50 meters from houses, and racing only on non-public roads, and avoiding all public streets?

Shouldnt speed limits be enforced when race course passes a few feet from wall of a house?

They say a 13-year-old boy was injured, didn't see anything about anyone dying. And he was reportedly near a canopy set up for spectators as opposed to in the house.

But your point seems well taken. In the video, they appear to be hauling the mail pretty darn close to civilization.

The truck appears to have crashed into a building. Not sure from the video whether it's a house. You can see a stop sign in the video, so there was a street there.

Would like more information. Maybe it's like the Isle of Man.
