Driving in Costa Rica
Driving is pretty easy in Costa Rica but not like you’d expect in the US. First off, drivers drive very fast and are not as courteous as you would expect. There are few guardrails and other protections for drivers, so teens and other less experienced drivers should not test their skills here (like most latin countries).
If you do get pulled over by the police, they will usually want a small bribe. You can play dumb and get off with giving them a tip (or “propina”) of 5 or 10 US dollars. Similar to the states, they use RADAR guns and other tricks to catch speeders.
