I’ve driven there before. One of my regulars cars. This was my first time renting on my own. I’m from NYC so I’m use to crazy drivers, but DR is on another level with all the moto’s and crazy shit. My advice if you are doing a road trip to Santo Domingo or Santiago go early and be the only one on the road. Take your time. Let the Moto go. Don’t be aggressive, just let them go by you. My concern about driving in DR was always the language barrier if anything happened. Driving in Sosua is a breeze compared to SD. I’m not sure what the curfew situation in Sosua is, but I drove from playa Chiquita to Sosua inn at all hours of the night with no problem.
