Well summarised Peter.
I have read a series of posts recently, mainly relating to the region of South America, wherein the general theme is indignation at the thought, or act, of paying bribes (or heaven forbid, bona fide fines) for infringing local laws.
Some of these same people want to travel through those countries while willfully ignoring the local laws regarding insurance requirements, traffic regulations such as speed limits and the like - sometimes they want to travel "on the cheap" but in other cases it is simply bravado.
