The Pleasure of Driving in Costa Rica

I am a lover of driving and drive all over Costa Rica and find the bad roads and mountain tracks an enjoyable challenge. The greatest pleasure is being able to do lots of terribly illegal things and not have the slightest fear of getting caught. Driving in the UK is now a chore and miserable in the extreme. Here I can weave about go as fast as I dare and overtake in any lane and go through red lights after a quick look, something I have only done a few times ever in the UK, here it is compulsory to do this or you get the continuous honking of the desperate drivers behind you who are also wanting to do dangerous and illegal things. Pure heaven, it makes for interesting driving and keeps delays to a minimum, the biggest drawback, other than a blue whales foreskin is the suicidal tactics of the totally uneducated illegal drivers who have never been to school never mind taken driving lessons. These folks take fate to its ultimate goal of usually killing themselves and a few others when they do their stunts, my view on this is that you go as fast or faster than them then you can avoid them and leave some poor truck driver to squash them. Which we see on the TV all the time, God Speed and safe driving in Gods Own Garden Country
