I’m scared to take a taxi at night from town especially on weekends…half of the drivers are full hot!!!Come out and see for yourself!!!!!
I know!! I had a driver last weekend that was so drunk I offered to take the wheel! This is ridiculous. I really felt scared in his car. And this wasn’t the first time I have encountered a drunk taxi driver.
I hope this guy was breathalysed. Why else would be hit a wall so hard/fast that the vehicle overturns? Oh… and points against his licence I hope.
Do they ever have spot checks set up? In the states you will frequently see check points set up to check for drunk drivers. Fortunately I have always had professional, safe taki drivers when in Bermuda.
