[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve rented cars on six continents but there are countries I won’t do so in. We only rent cars in countries where we’re reasonably comfortable with the legal system in case of an accident. I would never rent a car in a place where I felt that was a particular threat.

Oh yeah, being strong armed by police looking for bribes can be an issue in many countries.

OP feels superior, which is laughable. [/quote]

Ha!

Typical dumb scaredy cat American. You could be strong armed by a cop simply walking about.

Most of the time cops want nothing to do with tourists 99.99999% of the time because they're a PITA due to language barriers and the potential for international conflict.

You can drive all over Thailand and get stopped at numerous checkpoints in the north in the Golden Triangle area or near borders where humans trafficking occurs.  I've done it many, many times and had zero problems because they just do not want the trouble.  [/quote]
