My wife and I were having Pizza and Beer tonight with friends we have known for over 40 years and they tell us a story about her husbands brother and sisters family.

While down in Wildwood, NJ they needed a ride to a restaurant for dinner and decided to use UBER since they planned to have drinks and did not want to designate someone as the non drinker. So the UBER driver arrives and they notice the vehicle looked a little shabby but who's to complain. Once the 4 of them entered the vehicle they noticed the drivers seat was pushed way back and leg room was tight. Then they noitced the driver had his bare foot on the steering wheel. Odd but then your at the shore. The driver asked for the destination and needed directions to the address, well once they started to move they realized he had no arms and was driving using one leg/foot to steer and use the turn signals. He used the other leg/foot for the gas and brake and to work his cellphone which was mounted on the floor. They made it without any problems but were in total shock.

They did not know if they should notify UBER.

Has anyone in that area seen this driver?

I am sure that he drives a lot better than the most of pa, nnj and some ny uber drivers who came to steal his bread. I guess he is local. And to report for what? He has a license, insurance and a car. Nobody wants dot medical for ubering yet.
If you need to report I can feed you with few lic plates who loaded more than 4, made turn on red, more and more... The police here doesn't care anymore for uber. Nobody enforce the law anymore down here.
The season is slow at all, hopefully will pick up, but I am just a step away to turn off the app.
If you feel better this guy to loose this opportunity, report it. He may not lost it, but what goes around comes around. Soon or later.

It was not me who got the ride, my friends were just wondering if it was something UBER knew about and if they should report it in case UBER did not know.

If this story is true, I'm sure there will be some sick bastards out there who will downgrade him just because he doesn't have hands.

Yes this story is true and from what I understand he was a good driver. He may be handicapped like all handicapped people they learn to adjust.

I think the biggest question should be if your friends tipped the guy.

I did not ask because it was their sister that told me the story. I hope they did and a lot. I would have.
