Fake uber and lyft drivers
What the heck is going on folks?
So..... I take uber quite a bit as I have to rely on the "greatest public transportation system in America" here in PDX, and let me say that recently I have noticed more and more uber drivers not matching their profile pics and they also CAN NOT DRIVE..... I had one gentleman whose profile picture looked like a middle eastern man, but the guy who showed up was black as hell.... and I'm half black, but this caught me off guard. I have also seen an increase of drivers who don't use their turn signals, drive through red lights, merge into the next lane without looking and usually need to be directed as to which exit to take. My wife, my coworker, my young 2 year old child and I ordered an Uber, and the driver took off speeding before I even had my child inside her car seat, then he almost crashed into a divider on the highway going 60 mph because he merged across two lanes of traffic to try and take and exit that he wasn't supposed to and then merged back at the last second when I barked at him "WTF ARE YOU DOING? THATS THE WRONG EXIT!!!". I have been refunded over $50 this last 6 months alone due to horrendous unsafe drivers....
