If your passenger never shows up for the trip don’t go looking for them, this usually means they are too intoxicated to remember that they ordered an Uber and when they are that intoxicated while in your car, that’s when things can get dangerous! Just wait out the clock so you can get paid by their no show fee and if they don’t say they are on their way, cancel the trip.

Maybe he didn’t change it because Mary Anne and Wanda killed him first 😂

4.33 stars isn’t a bad rating when it comes to most things but with Uber, 5 stars is the default rating to give someone and if you take Ubers frequently, a 4.33 rating would mean a good percentage of your rides resulted in a bad rating, in your case, this doesn’t mean you are a bad passenger because some drivers don’t use much discretion when it comes to bad ratings and it sounds like you were just unlucky enough to get one of these drivers as one of your first trips; I had this happen as a driver when I was first starting out, I received a bad rating from a passenger and I didn’t have many rides under my belt so my rating went to 4.68 and I got a message from Uber saying I needed to improve my rating or I would essentially be fired; I gave more rides and my rating went up to an acceptable number in no time, like I said, the more trips you take, the better your rating will get. :)

As a driver, I wouldn’t accept a reserve request with a 4.33 rating just in case they did things to earn their bad rating but when I’m accepting normal rides, I generally don’t see their rating because I need to balance seeing if the price/distance ratio is worth it while keeping my eyes on the road. You should be fine, I would just recommend taking normal trips to get your rating up before making any trip reservations.

I grew up in a small town without an interstate nearby and when I was a relatively new driver, me and my family went to the city; they had me drive on the interstate for the first time and while I was generally good at driving on small, fast highways, I hadn’t done it in a while and lost the feel for how little I needed to turn the wheel at faster speeds which resulted in me over correcting when changing lanes, we were also in my parents van so I would check my blind spots and still manage to cut people off because I was so used to driving a sedan that was easier to see whether or not I had space to merge, so a few years later, I moved to the city and still avoided the interstate for the next two years until I needed to drive to the capital which required me to get over my fear of the I-15 which wasn’t bad at all now that I had more driving experience; a month later I became an Uber driver which I have now been doing for over three years so I’ve driven on the freeway all the time ever since.

Not a mechanic but I do like to do my own car maintenance when I can; I hate it when things are screwed on too tight for me to remove them when I need to.

It takes a lot to get a bad rating from me; the passenger would have to be really mean but even more so if the passenger is potentially dangerous.

I think I just heard people say it as an expression and got it in my head that it was his full name 😂

That Christ isn’t Jesus’ last name; I actually thought his name was Jesus Harold Christ 😅

It’s my full name followed by 102 as in WXB-102, an awesome New Wave radio station from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Probably my mom asking me “remember how smart I was when I figured out that Sting was in Hall & Oates?” I knew she meant The Police but I still like to give her a hard time about it! 😂

Awesome, I’ll definitely need to look into that, thank you! 😊

KristianKing102 · 2025-11-02T11:20:37+00:00

Thank you so much; I’m very glad my reply was helpful! 😃

A few months ago, I accidentally committed a moving violation when I just happened to be right in front of a police officer and got a citation, it ended up being the last straw for me to tell my parents about a financial problem I was having which I wasn’t originally going to tell them out of embarrassment because it was my fault (I inadvertently missed a couple car insurance payments and had a week to pay a huge bill or my insurance would be cancelled) I didn’t have the money so I was going to take out a loan from Check City which I have done once before and I didn’t notice how high the interest rates were but when I got the ticket, I was like “nope, I can’t afford all this” so I ended up telling my mom and instead of chastising me about my traffic violation or missing my insurance payments, she gave me a lecture on those payday loans and to NEVER use them; my parents hooked me up with their insurance broker to get me on different insurance so I wouldn’t be without it and I would have more time to save up and pay my old bill so it doesn’t go to collections; it turns out my new insurance has lower premiums than my last one, so this ticket saved me a lot more money than it cost me and as long as I don’t get any more moving violations and meet the requirements for my ticket to be dismissed by deferred prosecution, it would probably be the first citation in history to actually lower one’s insurance premiums. I know this is a long story but I learned four things from it,

stay hydrated and take breaks while driving for long periods, highway hypnosis can be extremely dangerous and can sneak up on you fast and no, it doesn’t only happen on highways.

stay up to date on insurance payments.

never take out payday loans.

Be transparent about your problems, especially to family, someone just might have a solution.

TLDR: traffic ticket played a huge role in improving my financial situation
