You must also consider that virtually every Tico (Costa Rican) is a 1st generation driver.... Their Dad was riding a horse 15-20 yrs ago... Cars were purely for the rich up North.
The road toll, naturally, is also horrendous. )And sadly we’ve seen some doozies!)
To attempt to educate drivers on just what can happen at an accident scene, fatalities are openly “displayed”, where they lay, phones and cameras encouraged.... Truly Horrific stuff!
(AND bloody slows me down)
Sounds like Vanuatu - no road rules, do what you like lol

I saw what must have been an 11 year old kid driving his old mans Subuaru WRX in Noumea in New Caledonia, luckily his old man was next to him though.
