As I mentioned in a previous post, I use a Car Cam when I am driving. The primary reason is that if I have an accident, I want proof as to who is responsible for the accident.

If a foreigner is involved in an accident in Panama, it is likely that he/she will be found to be the responsible party.

Yesterday as I was on my way to Chiriqui Hospital I caught the following accident on my car cam. If the car cam was in the silver Hyundai, then it would have shown that the Hyundai driver was responsible. Likewise, if it had been in the black car it would have shown that the silver Hyundai had hit it from the left side.

I am perfectly willing to accept responsibility for any accident I cause, but I don’t want to take responsibility for another person’s mistake. I carry my documentation with me.

I think they should require all Taxi drivers to have a car cam since most accidents have at least one Taxi in them.

In David, there is a single one-way street that runs north from Avenida 4 to the InterAmerican highway. It is known by several names. The official name is Calle C Sur. However it is better known by Chiricanos as La Calle de la Muerta or La Vía Rápida

The following video uses a starting point at the end of Calle Miguel Brenes, which is the road that runs in front of Super 99 and McDonald’s.

Some main points of interest on or near Calle C Sur are the Migracion office, where you have to go to for all Passport work, and the Municipal building where you will need to go for your car tags. That is assuming your car is registered in David.

Here is the video.

Following is a video driving the limits of Avenida 2 eastbound from Calle Miguel A Brenes to Calle Obaldia. Typically the Avenidas have the right of way and don’t have stop signs to honor. The exception is the One-way Calle that runs from Avenida 4 (Eastbound) to the InterAmerican Highway.

Typically the Calles have stop signs at every corner. Some exceptions are the One_way Calle mentioned above, Calle Miguel A Brenes, and Calle Obaldia.

In the continuing series of David driving videos, the following video is for Avenida 4. It is an east bound street that goes through the major downtown shopping and by Parque Cervantes.

Driving Avenida 3 in David, Chiriquí

In the continuing series of driving videos, this one is Avenida 3 which is one of the main streets in downtown David. It is a one way street and is westbound. Some landmarks are commented in the video.

The Avenida 4 video should be posted later.
