stay to the main roads. There are still a lot of Gringo day tourist to the border towns. In crowded places and nicer hotels and restaurants you should be fine.
If you drive in park at a lot with a policeman, give him a $5 or $10. He won't ask for it.
Your car will be safe(r)

Be careful where you go. Know that a lot of the people who have been victims of the violence have in one way or another been a part of some kind of illicit trafficking.

Bottled drinks. Unless Ice is made from bottled water.
Put some token declarations up high in the trunk or back of truck, have the Cubans stashed down low.

Damn, it got a lot worse I guess.

quote:
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — Even in a city where residents are used to feigning ignorance about the region's drug wars to avoid threats, violence or death, the silence here the week that a former mayor was confirmed dead was deafening.

A forensics team in Monterrey, Nuevo León, said on Tuesday that it identified the body of Benjamín Galván Gómez, according to a statement issued by the Tamaulipas attorney general’s office. Galván, who was mayor from 2011 to 2013, disappeared while en route from Nuevo Laredo to Laredo in late February. He and businessman Miguel Angel Ortiz, an associate of Galván’s, were allegedly kidnapped. Their bodies were found on a highway on the outskirts of Monterrey.

But then again, the Crowne Plaza and the area around it where really nice.
