Passenger was inside gas station and driver was waiting in parking lot with their child in the car? Just curious approx. how old was the child? Did the child see him snorting it? Is it possible driver had stickers on car but not necessarily working at the time (not good either)? I dont remove my decals even when I am off as the adhesive wears off. Maybe his family/friend in the car (not that thats any better)? Kind of hard to say what they were snorting as people snort cocaine, meth, pills (oxycodone, morphine, heroin etc. Regardless they shouldn't be snorting anything at anytime. The reason I am asking is if you report it to Uber and he isnt working that could cause issues with you & Uber. If you knew for a fact he was working, people were not family/friends then maybe could've approached them in gas station and say "just a heads up but just seen your driver snorting drugs in the car". Then its in riders hands . They could report it and you avoid ha…

Then its in riders hands . They could report it and you avoid having to report it and you may just have saved riders lives. Why would someone leave their child in the car with a stranger? I dont care how old or how long. People are really careless especially with their children. As far as police you can try to call 911 they will tell you they will send someone. Most likely the driver leaves before police get there. Here in Philly and Bensalem (Bucks County). They cant always just take the word of a citizen they need to witness it or wait til they pull away. If they get there in time they will wait to see what they do. If they start their car and vehicle starts to move then police will have reason to pull them over. At that point its driving under the influence. Good luck.

How do you KNOW it was cocaine? Anyhow, if you're absolutely confident that is what he/she were doing, you can simply go to your trip history and select the trip, then report it to Uber on the App in your phone.
But please be absolutely SURE you're correct as this will cause immediate suspension and likely a permanent ban from the Uber system for the driver.
Also keep in mind that if the driver chooses to prove his innocence through blood tests, then YOU could be permanently banned from Uber for false reporting.
This is serious stuff... Forget contacting Uber, take down the plate # and car description (make/model/color), and then call the police before someone gets killed.
Like others said... I think this is a police matter... Good luck.
