I have been following this group and it has been helpful so thank everyone for all the great info. I arrived here a month ago, furniture just showed up so settled in house. BUT I can't seem to find a reliable cheap small suv or truck. And yes ...
That's Great! I found the perfect car myself but eventually I discovered my Suzuki Forenza is no longer serviceable in Puerto Rico or the U.S. (Suzuki dealerships and service centers are long gone though many of their vehicles are still on the ... Read More

Buying a car from clasificados by Karma7553

Be careful about getting a lawyer if what you want is to track down the owner. Sites like ClasificadosPR, Clasificados Online & others usually note the car by the owner the vehicle does not have what they call the "malbete". That is ... Read More

Thanks ReyP, I hope the police understand the law themselves during 12am-5am. Honestly, I'm afraid some might say insinuate it applies to major highways or otherwise. I've asked officers in the past and "Believe it or Not" they ... Read More

I was told in an earlier reply that between 12am-5am one must come to a stop before continuing through a red light. As proof she (Frogrock) provided a link that states so from the Puerto Rico Driver's Manual. I haven't seen it but I am ... Read More

Hi Sabrina, I have visited and driven there on many occasions. I noticed many turn right at a red light but with precaution (unless a sign says otherwise). Just not sure if I will get stopped or not if I see a police officer and I am at a red ... Read More
