Well, you’ve never owned or operated a taxi on this island.

Exactly! The taxi drivers in Bermuda have it so easy that they can’t be bothered to do their jobs when people need them, lest their precious cars get a bit dirty or they have to associate with *gasp* inebriated people.

If they allowed rental cars in Bermuda, it would make the taxi drivers a bit hungrier, and hopefully a little bit less precious about who they pick up, when and where.

This is a violation of the Constitution Section 5 “Protection from arbitrary arrest or detention” You cannot say that there is a reasonable suspicion that everyone or anyone is drunk driving because it is a public holiday so therefore I can arbitrarily detain you even though you may have a designated driver or have not been drinking and you were in the area of the event. The reasonable suspicion clause has to apply to the individual being stopped “for cause” not because you happened to be leaving an event.

And who would be driving those Uber cars?

So let’s face it. That would never work.

Would you want to put sloppy, belligerent addicts with a tendency for violence, no sense of personal responsibility and generally bad behavior,in your nice clean vehicle to urinate and vomit all over the place?

Don’t you think heroin, crack, meth, fentanyl, ecstasy, cocaine, ritalin, adderall, or any pharmaceutical which clearly states ‘do not use before operating a vehicle’ may be of more concern to safety? Or should we pretend they don’t exist?

Same old song and dance. Absolutely useless. Can you PLEASE provide options for people to get home safely after a few drinks. Taxi’s suck, they are expensive and never show up. Provide options for people to get home. Start an UBER or lyft or late night buses. COME ON already.

If you want to actually stop drunk driving, allow Uber and Lyft to operate.

Do we want to impact and influence the very high level of driving under the influence (that we ALL know goes on daily here in Bermuda)? Or do we just want to keep talking about it? I think the latter! Very disappointing.
