My guard is always up no matter where I am (I'm a big ol' chicken) but after reading about this incident I will think twice before getting in any car that I flag down.

While I tend to only use drivers I know or drivers that security flags down, I've only had one incident that spooked me. Myself along with my dad who is a Jamaican got into a taxi that was parked across the road from NBCC to take us to Hi Lo. This is a driver whom I've never used and never met but I have seen him parked in the same place for many trips. By time we made it to the roundabout there was something about him that made my skin crawl and really spooked me. We made it to the Hi Lo with out incident but I told my dad to please just send him on his way that I didn't want to ride back with him.

He could have been pure as an angel but there was something and I had to go with my gut instinct. I consider myself a seasoned traveler to Jamaica so these posts just remind me that nobody is immune to danger no matter where you are.
