Checkpoints in Driving in Mexico
Expect checkpoints along most major and some minor roads manned by the Mexican military: mostly with automatic weapons. You will be asked for driver's licence and insurance information. Your vehicle will be searched, with varying degrees depending upon your attitude, your load, and how bored they are. They are looking for drugs or weapons, which you should not have with you.
They do not expect (or accept) bribes of any sort, but cold non-alcoholic beverages are often appreciated.
At military checkpoints, you will never be asked for identification, the army has no right to do so.
