So drivers are not penalized for canceling individual rides, but they are penalized (sometimes severely by losing their ability to receive requests) for uncorrected patterns of high cancellation rates.
Every time you put yourself or your passenger in danger, you will be deactivated. So if you're out driving passengers around drunk, molesting/harassing passengers or just a maniac on the road, your Uber driver account will be disabled.
Is it safe for women to drive with Uber and Lyft? Yes. It's safe for women, just as it's safe for men, if they are smart and protect themselves. Let's face it, all of these things are true for all drivers, and everyone can benefit from having some safety tactics in place before deciding to drive with Uber or Lyft.
Yes, both Lyft and Uber drivers can install and use cameras, and many rideshare drivers rely on footage for safety or evidence in the event something goes wrong.
Uber's driver app can detect and record if you are accelerating aggressively, stopping quickly instead of gradually and if you are exceeding the speed limit for a specific stretch of roadway.
Uber does not generally let drivers know the destination because drivers will cancel if they do not like the end destination or if the ride is too short.
Uber is generally considered safe, but it's important to take precautions. Uber conducts background checks on drivers, and users can review driver ratings and feedback. Additionally, Uber offers features like GPS tracking, anonymous pickup/drop-off, and 24/7 support.
again, i don't see any mention that flirting is against TOS for both uber and lyft- which it totally is. for both riders and drivers- nobody is supposed to be flirting with anyone. it's a huge distraction, not to mention makes some people super uncomfortable and can lead to worse things happening.
