Can Lyft drivers make stops?

Lyft Extra Stop Feature Limitations Lyft lets you add a stop to your final destination, but only if you use designated rides. If you choose the shared rides option, you can't add a stop or change your final destination. However, you can add a stop to your destination if you ride in Standard Lyft, Lyft Lux, or Lyft XL.

Anything longer than 10 minutes, we advise you to end the trip and start a new one once you're done with your errands.

No, it is not rude at all. Drivers have to take cues from passengers, and if you're talking about just you as a passenger, I tend to open with just saying hi and asking how they're doing.
