Driving in Mexico

To have a safe driving in mexico:
1. Have proper paperwork – Passport, proof of ownership
2. Have Mexican car insurance and get a Temp import of vehicle
3. Have no drugs or guns.

how to get a temp. Import of vehicle
1.- you have to ask for the temporary import format at the CIITEV and it basically says under oath that you are going to return the vehicles back to the states before the expiration of the permit (180 days).

2.- Guarantee the payment of taxes and penalties if you do not return the vehicles in the given amount of time. They will ask you for a Deposit which is refundable (when you exit the country they give you your money back),:

3. You have to bring all the documents that verify that you are the owner of the vehicles ( copy of the invoices, title, insurance, etc..) And also to show that you and everyone else is a US Citizen ( Passport and License) .

4. It is very easy and the custom agents speak english so you won't have any trouble as long as you bring the required documents of each Jetski and the car. If someone else is driving the car other than the owner let me know to ask what document you need to give the driver to authorize the import.

5. You and the vehicles need to be present with personal from Banjercito at the CIITEV when you leave the country to get your Return receipt. You can use this 180 permit to come back as many times as you want in that time frame.

Tips
· All gas stations in Mexico are government controlled and called Pemex (Petroleos Mexicanos - Mexican Petroleum). The further south you get, the scarcer they get. Avoid morning fill-ups, get your gas last thing at night. They quite often line up, which is a bummer when you want to get going. When driving on highways in the least populous parts of the country, be on the lookout for signs warning of the distance to the next gas station, which might be more than a hundred kilometers (about 60 miles).
· If you do get pulled over, be polite and calm. Under no circumstances try to speak Spanish with the police. With good manners and an apologetic looking face you might get out of the ticket, but if you don't, they are usually fairly cheap.
