   5 years ago in  Uk drivers will face 14yrs to Life in Prison for being on their cell and causing someone's death.

  But you don't get 14 years for killing someone while driving drunk. At least not in the US. I had a friend who was in that situation. It was a horrible tragedy and completely changed his life. He got 2-4 years. I thought that was light when it happened. but believe me that was enough. He is dry as the sahara now. He doesn't touch alcohol anymore. The guilt is too much.

  I do agree that txting/driving is as bad or worse than drunk driving. I just think 14 years is too long. 5-6 years, maybe. tops.

  I don't know about this. 14 years is a damn long time. Killing someone is horrible and distracted driving needs to stop. But will this really stop it? I doubt it.

  If someone wants to do something stupid and hurt themselves, it's their problem. But if they are gonna go on the highway and be a danger to others, it becomes everyone's problem. These things need to go IMO.

   5 years ago in  Be careful drivers, there's a new Uber scam, don't fall for it!

  Ok anyone who falls for this deserves it. Seriously you have to be pretty stupid to change where your checks go to some random person who calls you.

  He says before he could reach the rider, he got a call from what he thought was Uber customer support.

  "It sounded like a call center," said Benjamin.

  The caller on the phone told him the rider he was about to pick up needed to cancel their ride, but couldn't do it themselves. So, the caller said Benjamin needed to do it for them. They then told him that he was going to get a week of free gas for the troubles.

  In order to get the free gas, Beckham was told he needed to replace his bank account information with the one they were providing him with.

  "As soon as he told me to replace my payment information, I was like wait this is how I get paid," said Beckham.

  That's creepy as hell. Even if she is just trying to snipe rides, I'd be tempted to call the police. There is probably some stalking law that can be put into play here.

  Smell. Most people you can't smell them. But the ones that you can.... you know what I mean. Either massive BO, or way too much perfume. Or they just finished a cigarette. Not my cup of tea.

   5 years ago in  What is your opinion of Uber & Lyft's rating system? What would you change?

  Yes. OR. Only require and allow rating on only 10% of rides or something. That way when pax is asked to rate they will put a bit more thought into it since it doesn't usually happen.

   5 years ago in  What is your opinion of Uber & Lyft's rating system? What would you change?

  It's messed up that it's a five star system. And you are required to have such a high rating. But pax knows this. So basically anything below a 5 star rating might as well be zero.

  It should just be a thumbs up/down system IMO.

   5 years ago in  Why do 70% of drivers quit driving for Uber & Lyft in less than 8 months?

  Driving can be a slog. It takes a certain type of person to be able to do this work day in and day out. I'm not surprised so many quit. It's not for everyone.

  But it's also a decent job with a really low barrier to entry. I don't think they will run out of prospective drivers anytime soon.
