"Your friend needs to purchase Mexican Car Insurance. It can be obtained beforehand or at one of the border towns. As always, they want to maintain full tanks of gas b/c there's lots of desert miles between stations.
Be advised that police officers are often corrupt, mostly at the border, so one shouldn't ask them questions or deal with them unnecessarily. If your friend should need directions or something like that, it's a better idea to ask a store vendor. Regarding military checkpoints, they need to keep all the immigration documents handy and not lose them.
A common sense thing is to keep several stashes of cash, in case you ever should need to "pay off" someone.
The small sleepy town I used to vacation at is San Felipe. It has very calm and warm waters. It takes about 8 hours to get there. Rosarito is much closer, and you can get great lobster dinners there.
Above all else, make sure your friend does not drink the local water! Bottled water is a must. And I don't know if it's the season, but there's scorpions.
That's about it. I hope these tips don't scare your friend too much. It's a really beautiful place to be. "
