3. Here in Costa Rica we have two vehicle requirements.

Once per year you must get a car inspection by a licensed repair shop.

In December all cars are required to pay a registration fee that includes liability insurance, and a tax dependent on the value of your car.

Also bars close at 11 and during Covid we all have to be off the roads by 10 pm and not allowed on until 5:30 am.
Work and emergency vehicles excluded.

Finally, occasionally there are check stops by police or transit police checking your documents and if not a resident your passport and insurance coverage required since Covid.
