How to assess moto-bike Safety in Haiti

When choosing a moto-bike, assess the driver as well as the bike. Older drivers tend to be more responsible and are less likely to take chances. Look out for zip-ties on the bike as well as its general fitness as they are allegories to the success of the driver. Look out for a driver with an extra helmet or two for passengers. Finally, when you find a good moto-taxi driver, keep him. Exchange numbers with your driver and call to check his availability when you plan on going out.
