I don't know about you, but I have been in situations before where the driver misquoted a fare...but haven't really argued about it...especially if I am not in my own country!
Did you hear about this?
Six Carnival Cruiseline passengers were charged with "beating" police in Antigua after they argued over a cab fare, which doubled!
The passengeres were ordered to surrender their passports / travel docs and finally were released on Tuesday for $5k bail, each!
The passengers were ordered to appear in court later this week, and are being charged wtih: assault, batter, resisting arrest, indecent language (?), wounding and malicious damage...
Here's more detail:
