  The Importance of Staying Alert (The World Needs More 'LERTS)

  Posted by TerryIrving 230 Driver in Driver Confessions (4 comments )

  At about 8 hours into a fairly typical Saturday night shift in downtown Washington - a shift that, of course, had already included a bunch of drunks, the existence of a new rule from the DC Police that blocked Ubers and Lyfts from blocking the bike lanes. (Since the bike lanes are outside the parking spots on a street, this means either parking in the middle of the travel lane or getting your ride to find you in the first semi-legal space you can find. The only funny part about all this was the first policeman who screamed—literally screamed—at ...

  Passengers need to wear seatbelts especially in bad weather if not all the time. Also need to consider tipping in bad weather.

  Posted by momof4 2980 Rider Driver in Hey Passengers! (14 comments )

  The weather was completely awful in Philly, New Jersey, Lower Bucks County, and probably many other areas. Wind, downpouring rain non stop, flooding everywhere. Places that never flood were flooded. Had 7 trips up & down I-95 (Street Rd. To CC) each accident was worst than the one before. The last one I witnessed 4 cars were involved, firemen were using saws, jaws of life to cut people out of these totally wrecked cars. After this I was done for the night it was so not worth it to be on the road anymore. First I want to say PASSENGERS ...
