I heard a lot of scary stuff about driving in the Dominican Republic. While I realize, that a foreign country can have very very different habits than I'm used to, I wouldn't like to end up in jail or similar.
I'll be visiting the Dominican Republic soon and I'd like to have a good idea of what's it like there. I plan to rent a car in the mid-south of the island and drive to the north to visit the so-called 21 waterfalls.
I have experience driving in Moscow (I'm Russian) and I drove a lot in Europe (I live in Germany).
The general question is: how can I maximize my security, what insurances should I buy, etc, etc, so as not to get problems in DR and manage a good time? I have heard of things such as Casa del Conductor, and similar insurances. I'm hoping to hear from people with experience.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

@LLIAMnYP I'm sure that if you can survive Russian roads, you can survive DR. However, I've never been to DR, so I don't know what it's like there :)

@LLIAMnyP - The TripAdvisor website has IMO some very informative posts about driving in DR. The advice is overwhelmingly (but not solely) against driving there. Here are two links that I hope you'll find useful: tripadvisor.com/… ------------------------------ tripadvisor.com/…
