MEXICOWANDERER

I think Moisheh caught my error red handed...Thank you sir. I dislike errors.
It is not the blinks of amber it is the blinks of the green semafora,
Here it is 5 blinks lasting about 5 seconds before the semaforo turns solid yellow.
It is a discretionary thing, as to whether a transito will go after a violator. When someone crosses before me clearly violating a red light I blow my horn. So far three transitos have then given chase.
I do understand the profiling I do not approve of it. Too many cops have a belief that gringo drivers sneer at the police and Mexican law. So if they see a violator with non Mexican placas they pursue. It is not correct just like it is not correct to pick on Mexicanos north of the border who may be doing nothing wrong.
By driving closer to the speed limit, other drivers may get cranky but I have had far fewer transitos and patrullas federales take an interest in me.
"They are driving fast so they can arrive home sooner and have more time to do nothing" Works For Me I always chuckle at the thought.
