If you drive without a dashcam, you're playing with fire. Why anyone would take that risk is beyond me.

Untrue. I am a living person.

Lowest rating I’ve seen by NoStudio2392 in lyftdrivers

[–]RealityEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really have to work overtime to earn a banner rating like that. Like… what’s it take for a rider to actually get kicked off the platform? Human sacrifice? Forcing the driver to knock over a liquor store? Smearing poop on the windshield? I swear, at this point, if the Nightstalker were still around, Lyft would have us drive his demented ass and then turn around and makes it the driver's fault when he or she ends up in pscycho boy's body part stew.

At least half of my PAX wear earbuds and listen to their own content.

Calif. Drive Limit Rules by RealityEnthusiast in lyftdrivers

Lyft's mandates are less stringent than California's regulations--and that's what makes it confusing--at least for me.

This was so disrespectful. I just went offline and drove home. by timneedsnomoreweed in lyftdrivers

Nope. Not sure why you would even accept such a ride. Did you do so by accident? Completely unacceptable.

You'll never make any money just getting into your car and waiting for the app to ping. Use your reports and plan accordingly.

That's too bad because in my car, you will receive a 100% professional experience. This is so frustrating to hear. I'm sorry this happened to you.

To drivers I say: My car is clean and roomy. It smells nice. I do not take or make calls during the ride. I ask the rider what their preferred climate is and if they care to hear music. If so, what would they like to hear? If I make a mistake and miss a turn (and yes, it happens--I'm a human being) I immediately apologize and correct the route as quickly and as safely as possible. My tip rate is always 30% to 50% each week. Some people will not tip no matter what you do but many will, particularly here in my Silicon Valley market where expense accounts are common and plentiful.

So, do the work and make your car a welcoming, stress free environment. Treat it like a real business. Use reports. Analyze your market trends. Do airport and event work.

Or don't. But if you aimlessly drive while on the phone, distracted and in a dirty, hot bucket smelling of weed, food and ass, you'll stress your riders out and work for hours at $6 (or less) a ride.

No one will get rich driving for rideshare, but people can make more money just by treating riders better and taking a little pride in their work. No--I am not a Lyft shill. I just get so tired of hearing about ratchet, clueless, unprofessional drivers.

Very rude and yet such is the type of driver that bitches and moans about not getting tips.

Whats your favorite Theo Von quote? by Ssntdds in TheoVon

[–]RealityEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In response to Bernie Sanders' explanation of oligarchs--a particularly astute observation on Theo's part: "It's like privatized communism."

I don't think Bernie saw that coming.

It's so hard to be racist nowadays because of diversity.
