[Terrapin Bound]

Worked the core drunk hours Friday and Sunday nights, the surges were better than expected, and every pickup was local, based on the Strip a mile from my house. Used destination discrimination as necessary to ensure I wasn't getting dragged out to nowheresville.

Had one mishap, distractions at a pickup led to 4 girls in the back, plus the guy up front. Took me about a minute to notice; ended the trip immediately and out on the sidewalk they went. They were quite pissed, cash offers, how can you do this, you're stealing our money etc etc. Told them to take it up with Uber, but it is non-negotiable. I reported them and so far have not been docked by Uber. It's the first time I've mis-stepped like that in years; I must be more vigilant.

Couple of other typical little quirks, but all in all one of my better weekends.
So just wanted to humblebrag a bit, because I know that's so appreciated here

241 online miles.

Hope you all had a successful holiday weekend too, & a Happy Fourth to all!

Too many people?

Too many people?

4 in back
Only 3 seatbelts is illegal I guess

If you are in a wreck Uber isn’t covering that
Nobody is

Congrats on the 62 points!

Only 500,000 more and I can redeem them for a go kart!

Yes, I'm UberX, limit 4 pax.

Some riders don't want to believe me when I tell them 4 max is non-negotiable. Sorry pal, I will not assume the liability for your poor planning.

In by 12 is nice. I'm usually out about 10:30 to 2:30.

More than the liability (Ubers insurance HAS to pay wether you violate TOS or not) is the seatbelt fines. In most states pax must be in a seatbelt or fines for the driver and points on your license If you get pulled over or in an accident.

I'm in the last state without a seat belt law. Passengers rarely wear one.
But I'm still not going to exceed the Uber pax limit. Not up for testing those waters over a few lousy bucks.
Even with the TNC rider on my personal policy, still not gonna go there. It's just not worth the extra aggravation if something goes wrong.
