    We are using Linston for the first time in April. I'm very much looking forward to have a safe driver that we can trust. He comes highly recommended!

    We were with Linston on the way back to the airport last weekend. A car was passing another coming toward us and Linston's quick thinking saved everyone. We pulled to the far left side of our lane and the passing vehicle went right between the other car and us. Thanks Linston!!!
    Don't waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear.

    Old Goat, some of those dangerous drivers unfortunately may be Taxi drivers. This post is about dangerous drivers, I see nothing wrong with posts mentioning safe drivers that some have used. We can't stop the bad driving but we can by word of mouth help keep the good drivers in business. I prefer to know my driver will get me to my destination safely and chose Linston for our transfer next week, he was chosen by recommendation on this board. It's a good thing to mention good drivers as well, Spread the love

Turns out it musta been the tea because he assured me the next day that we were on the appropriate side of the road the whole time lol. God I love Negril

    Everyone should encourage road safety at every opportunity.

    Unfortunately a new story from this week.

    crossing at the grand pineapple an oncoming car was slowing down so my son assumed it was safe ,and it did look so until some idiot on the rice rocket with no head light cranked around the car just as he stepped into the street,lucky I had not had too much as this point and was able to yank him back out of the way.

    Lessons learned:

    If the resort provides crossing guards use them
    Never assume the road is safe( its also really hard to adjust your thinking on which way the cars are coming form)

    All these things are probably second nature for the more seasoned Negril travelers, but if your doing research on going there don't get complacent as it almost totally screwed me!
