Ultimate Ride-Share Survival Guide

 Unveiling the Dark Side of Ride-Share: Investigating the Dangers Lurking in the Shadows

In recent years, the ride-share industry has become an integral part of urban transportation, offering convenience at the tap of a screen. However, beneath the surface of this seemingly seamless service lies a dark underbelly that demands scrutiny. This investigative report delves into the dangers associated with the ride-share industry, shedding light on the risks faced by both passengers and drivers.

1. Passenger Safety:

a. Inadequate Background Checks: One of the glaring issues in the ride-share industry is the adequacy of background checks performed on drivers. Instances of drivers with criminal records or a history of violent behavior have been reported, raising questions about the effectiveness of screening processes.

b. Assaults and Harassment: Reports of passengers falling victim to assaults or harassment during rides have surfaced. The lack of security measures within the vehicles, combined with insufficient driver training, contributes to an environment where passengers are left vulnerable.

c. Impersonation and Fraud: Cases of drivers impersonating legitimate ride-share operators have been documented. This poses a significant threat to passengers who may unknowingly enter a vehicle with ill intentions.

2. Driver Exploitation and Safety Concerns:

a. Exploitative Work Conditions: Drivers, often classified as independent contractors, face precarious work conditions without the benefits and protections afforded to traditional employees. Long hours, low wages, and a lack of job security contribute to driver exploitation.

b. Robberies and Attacks on Drivers: Just as passengers are at risk, drivers are not immune to dangers either. Incidents of drivers being targeted for robberies or physical attacks have been reported, highlighting the vulnerability of those behind the wheel.

c. Inadequate Insurance Coverage: The ambiguous nature of insurance coverage for ride-share drivers creates a gray area when accidents occur. Drivers and passengers may find themselves caught in legal and financial battles due to unclear liability and coverage policies.

3. Regulatory Challenges:

a. Legal Loopholes: The ride-share industry operates within a complex web of regulations that vary across jurisdictions. Legal loopholes and gaps in oversight contribute to an environment where unscrupulous practices can go unchecked.

b. Resistance to Regulation: Some ride-share companies have been criticized for resisting regulations aimed at improving safety standards. This resistance hampers efforts to establish uniform safety protocols and accountability measures.

Conclusion:

While ride-sharing has undoubtedly transformed the way people navigate urban environments, this investigation highlights the inherent dangers that accompany this convenience. As the industry continues to evolve, stakeholders must address these issues head-on, prioritizing the safety and well-being of both passengers and drivers. Striking a balance between innovation and safety is paramount to ensure that the ride-share industry can truly be a reliable and secure mode of transportation for all.

Writing A TV or Movie Script Is A Lot Like Rebuilding A Car

 I posted this picture of the ugly duckling yesterday because it showed up in a memory on Facebook. I remember it like it was yesterday, after a few months of searching, I found one in my budget. Most of the 73 Challengers were way overpriced in the area (in my head) and the ones out of State, just weren't what I was looking for. so I made a deal with a guy, the old fashioned way, on a  handshake. And within 2 weeks she was parked in my driveway.



That's what eight grand bought you 12 years ago. Within the first week, I don't remember how many times she died on me for various reasons. Universal joints went, heater core, hoses blew, electrical issues.

I had enough, and like any bad script, I had the outline, but this puppy need a page one rewrite, she deserved it. While mechanically I'm a pretty good backyard wrencher, it was above my pay-grade. Found a guy on the west coast of Florida who  specialized in Mopars. Another handshake and off me and the wife went to the West Coast. 90 miles later we were stuck on the side of the road, blew the radiator.

Towed it the rest of the way. For the next 6 months, I waited, a bit impatiently to say the least. We see things on TV that makes us think rebuilding an automobile should only take a week. It doesn't.

Here what it takes to rewrite a car. First get rid of the old 318, and find a 440



Then you have to tear the story apart, completely to see whats underneath. Let me tell you, lots of crap in there.







I could go on and on about what was found, and what was replaced, but when all the rust and crap was removed,and all 4 1/4 and roof skins replaced, she started to take shape.



Time was getting close for her to be finished. The Guy was not happy with my choice of color, since he was a MOPAR guy, he just couldn't see Corvette Yellow on one, he said said it was Blasphemy. My story,it's gonna be written my way, just like a script.



A friend had one, always loved the color.  In the end, when it was finished, the guy apologized . . . . So in the end, write what you want, how you want, and turn that ugly duckling of a script of yours into the Queen of the ball!



And yes, it cost me a pretty penny to have all this done, but it was done right, sometimes that's the only way to go!

Why I wrote The Drive To Kill: Entitled Ride Share Passenger (Lyft Uber) Goes Off On Driver

 Lyft Rider loses it when driver will not wait for 15 min for her. Just because you put a stop in that only gives you 5 min... not 15-20. A drivers time is just important as yours. The driver kept his cool and handled it correctly. He should not have been tread like this. Everyone share this video to show others how NOT to treat drivers.

Rideshare Passenger Uses Hand Sanitizer As Weapon ... Surprise Attack On Driver!!!

 

11:10 AM PT -- The driver, Nicholas, tells us he picked Danny up at Denver Intl Airport -- passengers are supposed to wait at an island that's accessible from both sides -- and Nicholas says he chose the safer location. Nicholas says he didn't call the cops for the incident.

A rideshare passenger caused loads of trouble for a driver without even leaving the curb ... launching a sneak attack with a bottle of hand sanitizer after a tense showdown.

The shocking interaction was caught on video, and you see the irate passenger squirting sanitizer all over the car before chucking the bottle at the driver's head.

This ride that literally went nowhere started out on the bad ... the driver asks the passenger, Danny, to put his mask on ... and he responds by shading the driver ... telling him he picked him up on the wrong side of the street.

The driver doesn't take the dig too kindly and tells Danny to get out of the car because the ride is over ... and Danny starts arguing before launching his surprise, sanitizer attack.

We're still trying to locate the driver. This could be right out of my book series, The Drive To Kill

The original story was posted on TMZ
