Mexbungalows,
Thank you for your clarification and expansion on the insurance issue. I have mentioned that, even though there are posters in the Banjercito office proclaiming that insurance is required (at least the one on Mex-2), I've never been asked to show proof of insurance; nor have I been able to find anything in writing that says you have to have liability insurance. You have just confirmed what I suspected.
However, there is a point that I'd like to get your input on.
You mention the "Legal Fees", which is offered by most of the bigger insurance companies. Are these funds held in the US or Mexico. I know that a couple of the insurance companies that offer "Liability and Legal" are purely Mexican in origin. Wouldn't they keep the funds in Mexico?
One other question; my Spanish isn't all that good, so could you translate "Chofers"? I'm guessing that it means "drivers".
