Bunny chased by '' Dean '' (Huricane)

As you all will know by now there's a huricane on the path to Mexico, Yucatan area... As it happen just where I am... So as to avoid harm to the bunny we decided to get out of the path of ''Dean'' heading south doing a roadtrip through Yucatan. And we need to head south for like 10 hours or more to avoid ''Dean'' who is a class 5 or avoid ending up in Belize.

Mexican road rules : There are none... Not even for buses... I got overhauled on a rainy stretch doing 80 by a bus doing at least 90 km/h on a narrow highway, and that wasn't all, the bus overhauled 4 cars/trucks in one go... But this wasn't a one time occurence... I imagine all bus drivers here think they are Schumacher. Yesterday when driving down from Campeche to Ciudad del Carmen, I had a race going on between me and an ADO bus (ADO = 1st class busline)

To be honest driving in Mexico is loads of fun... No rules and all the speeding you can do... And if you get caught by a mexican traffic cop... Well ''propina'' is the word or bribe in common english. But trying to outrun a trafic cop, that's a big nono... They drive big supercharged V6, Dodge Chargers putting out 300+ BHp... That's just to cool in my book... In Belgium they just drive small Opel Corsa's (90 BHp) or the like... Go Mexico...
