Avoiding Dealing with the Cops - My Advice to Visitors


If you don't have a Panama drivers license:

-> Only drive on the main streets.

-> Only carry your country's drivers license and a copy of your passport.

-> Keep your MONEY seperate from your ID.

-> Do NOT SPEAK Spanish, even if you speak a little.


The cops will hassle you for a second, but then they'll let you go once they see your passport and they know you don't speak Spanish (very important).


I would tell you my story, but its too long to write here.


FYI, if you live here, getting your driver's license is a huge ordeal, but once you have it, its worth it!
