Living in central Texas, I've been to Mexico many times, but recently someone was telling me a "fact" that I wanted to confirm. I was warned that I should stop riding in the cabs down there since if we were in a wreck, the cab's passenger is responible and not the driver. Basically stating that since you hired the cab, you're responsible.
True or False? :unsure:
I've been there a few times myself and this is the first I have heard of it. Seems very unlikely.
I have spent quite a bit of time there, and I have never heard of that.
I seriously doubt that it is true. Think of how many "accidents" would happen every day if it were.
Why?? So you could pay for their vehicle to be repaired? I don't see that's a money making scheme. :ermm:Quote:

i bet someone was in a taxi in mexico that crashed. the taxi driver blamed his passenger as not to lose his no claims bonus :shifty:
i suppose if it's a shit tip of a vehicle you could crash it and improve it with repairs :unsure:Quote:

Sounds more like a local sheriff trying to get his palms greased.Quote:
