Route Taxi Fares

I know they are trying to do the right thing as law makers, but the whole thing bums me out. I've been riding with the same non-plated driver for years now, he's become my friend. We go on up to his house at the head of the roaring river and eat an hang out with his sister and kids, I'm really torn on this one. I know there are great red plate drivers out there, but this man is my friend and now I can't ride with him? Is there anyway we could explain that to the authorities if they pulled us over? Need to start Jamaican Uber driver. Rob, do they have anything like Uber on the rock?

You also have to remember that travel insurance policies say you are covered for accident insurance provided you are in a licenced transportation service. If you are out with a "friend", driving around and not in a licenced red plate, and heaven forbid there's an accident your medical care will be at the mercy of the Jamaican insurance provider. That's not a pretty picture. I have dealt with Jamaican insurance and it's pretty much "yeah, you have no coverage. Let us know how it work out for you".

P/S was in Duluth for the airshow in June. Duluth might be the most beautiful city in all the USA.

Thanks for good advice, food for thought for sure. We do love living in Duluth, it is beautiful here for sure. We spend a lot of our time out in our boat.
