Experienced Uber & Lyft Driver
-1 Rider DriverI’ve been driving rideshare for 4 years now. I started with Uber and switched over to the Lyft platform and have been driving for Lyft ever since. I did it full time until it wasn’t worth it for me to do it full time anymore. Now I drive occasionally.
Your rights are dependent upon the state you reside in. Ohio is a one party state and therefore it is up to the driver to decide here if they wouldn’t mind not recording you. However as long as you’re not doing anything you’re not supposed to I don’t see the issue with being recorded. Drivers only have it in their vehicles as a safety precaution. Not to do anything weird. Most videos left untouched are overwritten by new video content. So chances are they don’t even have it anymore.
Absolutely agree with you!! I had a rider try to cancel the trip when we were halfway to the destination. I stopped at the closest gas station and told them they can request another driver and left them there.
