Hello house,

Please, do you have to pay any money to register if you need to drive bolt? That is, if you want to drive someone's car, do you have to pay some sort of registration money to do that?

Someone is asking me to lend 50k that he needs to pay before given a car to drive.

Your response would be highly appreciated.

Step by step process...By luxurydriver

Thanks Boss... Someone told me of Doctor's report before getting the permit since it's not factory tinted. I just needed confirmation. Na to go find where to do report.

@eyinola, it's just a similar effect when you wear sunglasses or sunshades in the sun.

1. Probably the owner of the car is asking for a caution fee (which probably might be refundable)

2. Ask the person if he is collecting the car under rental or hire-purchase (in most cases hp will require the driver to pay some amount and its always more than 50k...cos he is driving to own the car)

3. If the car owner or the person borrowing the money insist it's for registration....and not like caution fee or HP..... It's either your friend/brother is trying to swindle you or the person asking your friend/brother to bring 50k for registration is trying to swindle him.

Peace

Yeah Doctors report is nesseccary if it is not factory fitted, I have tinted permit and doctors report intact, it doesn't expire, is a one off thing. I am removing my old tint replacing it with a new one 2mao. The old one has faded.

The good thing about tinted glass are:

1. It shields you from ultra violet rays of sunlight which has severe effect on the Skin especially if you re light skin. (Skin cancer, dark pigmentation, rashes, sun burn etc)

2. It increases the performance of AC chilling in your car. it makes AC cooler than in normal transparent window glasses.

3. It gives you adecent privacy, you won't be seen in public when you re on duty.


Disadvantages

1. Police will stop u anyhow. They are always suspicious of Tinted cars.

2. If you don't have a good night vision, don't tint your car. Driving at night in tinted glass with poor vision could lead to accident..

3. Traffic robbers are always naive if they want to rob a tinted car. They are very likely to the break glass before any premeditated attack.

4. Some Riders are scared of entering a tinted car. They might cancel trip request on driver's arrival at their pick up location

That was the case with this particular one. This is what I do. Once I get a trip, I quickly take note of the destination if its not a place I'm familiar with then I Google it for clarity. I then put the destination on the map while on my way to PU. Before I even start your trip, I have taken my time to go through the map and seen the best available route.

This was the exact same thing I did today so I was actually on the best route. I'm sure like you said she has no better route in mind and that was why she couldn't respond when I asked her of the better route.

Why these things always happen with women is what I do not understand. Since I started driving on ehailing, I have never had any single issue with a man.
I think there's need for a dedicated thread to discuss all the nasty thing these girls do. Maybe when different people blast them they might change.

more than 50K bro, cos with 150K gross bolt takes 30K remains 120K ..can 20K fuelling make u 100K? Never imposicant grin

Una wan start this earnings dragging again. There is a difference between I cant do it and its impossible.

Moreover Bolt didn't say u can make profit of 100k per week. They said earnings.

And don't forget Bolt gives up to 20k in bonuses every week. If u r strategic, u can chop all of them, I have done it countless times.

That was how I pick this girl from BERA estate to phase 1.
Immediately I picked her up I knew there'll be problem cos she was just nagging and talking to me anyhow, I just kept my cool.
Immediately we got to agungi girl just vomited in car and was lying she's sick even when I could smell alcohol.
Girl became so humble and apologetic. Me asking myself "so you have this calm voice since and you were doing rubbish".
I had to let her go with her wahala after apologising.

Boss 24hours don pass and oga dru no lag me 20k. So pls keep up to your words of my 40k sir

Lets just let it slide once and for all... I believe it was unsettled beef or groadges that brought about this in the first place.

I never meant any attack or insult but was only trying to pass a message in response but oga dru like he always does misunderstood my message and took it like I started a fight therefore, insulting me with his challenge that my enemy won't achieve anything good (that's what I understood from that his challenge). I should prove him wrong by accepting his challenge which you and a few other person supported I accept his challenge, though I don't have any issue with any of you that supported his challenge, after all, you're all ignorant of his actual intention. So I forgive.

Thank God men are not God, all of my life, my family, my achievement and others I give it back to God and i thank him for what I'm today, no do no do I'm registering for my MSc program in Unilag this yr, courtesy to proceeds from ehailing... Wirh God helping me I'll finish in a good note.

So let's put this to rest and forget about the whole thing.

As for dru I'll avipd him totally henceforth, I womt even read his comment again on this thread. If our path crosses again anywhere else in life I know I'll always show the love of God in me to him or any member of his family because I have nothing against him, if he likes let him continue to carry me in his mind that's his concern but as for me? Me na free man.

@ Npala, thank you for your constant and progressive follow up on me, I really appreciate God bless you. But Point of correction, my lowest rating was 4.25 not below 4.0 like you wrongly stated. Only an inexperience and naive driver will have a wrong assertion about a Bolt driver by his low rating. In case you don't know me, I'm a disciplinarian, a no nonsense person and at the sane time, down to earrh. So I believe you understand reason why to my low rating at the first 3months driving with bolt which I believe most driver experience similar in their first start. You don't wanna know my current rating, do you?

In any case One love bros
Nay bless us all.

Lolz...so u show am ur red eyes, well done. Personally I don't think Indriver riders deserve AC sha, except the trip is worth it. U can't pay peanut and expect premium service. So I put of the AC if its not convenient. If I enter 2hrs traffic like ikorodu side or island-mainland bound traffic am turning off engine, I will not even give u explanation.
