William Kitto was not traveling for his first time in Mexico when he got into an accident near San Vincente, Mexico while driving his friend’s pick-up.The drive was difficult due to a driving rain storm, which quickly left him at the mercy of his friend’s Mexican insurance policy.

Bill and his friend were traveling at 30 MPH hour when they rounded a corner to find a Mexican military truck hurtling towards them partly on their side of the road. Unable to avoid the crash, the two vehicles smashed head-on left, hurling soldiers down an embankment and Bill and his friend into the cliff wall along the other side of the narrow pavement.

Within moments, the Mexican police arrived and one speeds an bruised Bill away to a location unknown to him or his fellow traveler who is left standing roadside. In Mexico, they practice Napoleonic Law, where there is no ‘innocent until proven guilty’-exactly the opposite.

There’s a good reason why savvy travelers buy Mexican Insurance before leaving home.

Bill finds himself in a Mexican detention cell without any contact and without any knowledge of his fate, mostly because at this point he has no way of knowing whether his friend even carried Mexican Insurance. Hours later, the police return to take him back to the accident site where he is able to see his friend and his friend’s Mexican car insurance policy. But it’s not over yet.

Bill spends a week alone in a Mexican hospital trying his hardest to stay injured enough to avoid the inside of a Mexican jail; he’s at the mercy of the local government, and muddled technology that makes what amounts to paying his way out or Mexico an act of futility. There were a lot of times when Will was uncertain if he would ever be free again.

In the end, Bill does gain his tenuous freedom, but only after spending more than $28,000 of his own money, even though his friend’s bare bones insurance policy partially covered the damages.

Make sure you carry quality Mexico Insurance in your vehicle, make sure you have enough coverage limit, and put your insurance ID cards inside your WALLET.

It can save you hours, weeks, or even months of potential difficulty!

Colchester is the biggest town in Essex. It lays claim to being the oldest settlement in the whole of Britain and is certainly the oldest recorded Roman town in England. Because of its history, there are lots of attractions in Colchester, which you can explore when you visit the town. Here, we look at just a few which may be worth considering visiting when you visit Colchester.

1.  Balkerne Gate – The most complete Roman gateway in the country and is believed to have been built at around 55AD. Years ago, the gate was part of the main route into the town but over time was then transformed into a triumphal arch instead. Then, later, it became part of the town’s new walls before it was blocked up some four hundred years later in 465AD in order to help strengthen the defences of the town. It was rediscovered about a hundred years ago which is why it’s been so well preserved.

2.  Charter Market – This is believed to be the oldest recorded market in the UK and has been run here for more than 800 years now. The market was granted a Royal Charter in 1189 by King John and is where it gets its name from. Today markets are still held here on a Friday and a Saturday and there is a wide variety of things to choose from as no two stalls can sell the same items. 

3.  Colchester Castle – Altough “only” dating back to Norman times, this castle was built on the same ground as the Temple to Claudius in Roman times. But, the Roman temple was smashed to pieces in 60 AD when Queen Boudica razed the town to the ground in order to get the Romans to leave. The Normans re-used the stone to build the castle is in fact much of the materials used to build the Roman temple. 

This castle now has one of the largest and oldest castle keeps in the whole of Europe and inside the walls of the castle there are lots of things to see and do. The castle houses exhibitions, tracing more than two thousand years of British history and there are interactive displays to keep your youngsters busy. Whilst touring the castle you might want to find out about the Witch Finder General, Matthew Hopkins who used the castle as a jail at the time of the main witch trials.

4.  Colchester Zoo – One of Europe’s finest zoos and is only a short drive from the town itself. Located in around sixty acres of English countryside the zoo has more than 200 species of animal for you to view. Naturally, the elephants can be found in Elephant Kingdom, and Chimp World is home to the zoo’s chimpanzees. Plus you will find other parts of the zoo just as enjoyable and enchanting. Certainly, you may well find it difficult to actually get the kids to go home.
