Assaulted by a cab driver?

I am so sorry to hear of this. But folks need to remember when they pack for vacation, still bring your common sense along. Being careless or inattentive about what vehicle you are getting into could get you into just as much trouble in places like San Francisco, New York City or Montreal as well as Jamaica. Especially as a woman who travels solo, I like to exercise caution as needed.

Absolutely right Sweetness! Just because someone is on vacation does not mean bad things won't happen. Jamaica is not void of crime just because we find it heaven on earth! Common sense will get you far in life... duh!

BTW.. It would be nice to be able to write a rebuttal on TA to let this person know that before heading to someone else's country you should be smart enough to research the do's & don'ts & the how to's... again I guess that's where common sense would come into play!

Yes, do a little research in advance (especially when traveling solo) and always bring the common sense along... and I am sure SWEETNESS would agree. lol
