Im getting a little tired of being gouged on the plane for airfare and boards, being hit with the additional insurance on the rentacar, the high price of fuel, the higher price of lodgings, the higher price of food, the exit fee and the board fees on the way home.

JCARDER Posts: 489 Joined: 05/11/2007	actualy the opposite is taking place.that is one of the main reasons why the fines are changing as well.the country and its government are making a huge effort to increase tourism again.the cameras are an effort to try and organize the drivers and eliminate shitty drivers and ILLEGAL drivers.not the tourists with rental cars.also people that have been coming down here for years think its a free for all as well after living in the states they come down here and drive like idiots because the LOCALS do.more deaths have occured latley due to bad driving than ever.stick with the bus and hired professional respectable drivers.or at least come down here and drive with respect until you get out to the beaches and then destroy your rental and be an idiot.also the government just spent 20$ million on new advertisement in the us and europe that you will soon be seing on your tv in florida or wherever you are in gringolandia during your football games and other prime time events.traffic cameras and high fines for bad driving yes are uncomfortable but drive with respect and within the rules and enjoy your trip.hardly imagin traffic cameras are a downer for tourism!!!!more of a downer when people start dieng on vacation because of traffic accidents drinking and driving and driving like idiots ------------------------- www.barefootinpublic.com LIVE SLOW AND SEEK EUPHORIA
