I can not do Uber but I can run the country when I am over 70?

This president would be quickly deactivated by Uber for making racist comments offensive to riders.

Honestly while I don't agree with alot of things people discriminate others with but paying customers should have the freedom the type of driver they want, as long as they are ok with the wait. Just like when you go to your barber/stylist you want someone specific and don't mind waiting even though other barber/stylist are available. Or when choosing your family doctor you picked one that you are comfortable with and trust in, not necessarily mean they are the most qualified. Discrimination = competition = capitalism. When you choose to work for Uber more than Lyft, that's discrimination. When you choose iPhones and Samsung over Huawei that's discrimination at work as well. Just like it's discrimination when you actively avoid a certain neighbor or disallowing minor to enter your car.

Discrimination is part of life and business. It's fine as long as the objective is fair and reasonable. I have no problem with old drivers, I just don't want them to be my driver simply because the risk to myself would be increased. With younger drivers (25+) there's more at stake for both the driver and passenger and their senses aren't degraded.


Source? Disallowing minor is ageism too.


I don't mind, as long as I'm not in that car when the driver body suddenly betrays him


Good for you but it's doubtless that the average 65 year old senses won't be as sharp as their younger counterpart.


I have no problem with this arrangement as well


I wouldn't trust neither to drive me


Your being emotional and refuse to accept what's clear as day. The the younger you have sharper senses than the current you. When people age, their body degrades and they just aren't as sharp as they could be.

I'm old, so I quit rideshare just for you.

So, go fetch me a sammie kid.

Didn't Lyft start out that way, maybe calling it a mentor program?

I think your right, when Lyft came into my area they wanted me to get all the online info done, and set up a meeting with a Lyft manager person who dis the inspection. I opted out of Lyft for that reason. Now 2.5 years into rideshare, Friday and Saturday nights, I really wish it would have worked out, and Uber started it because there r some DUMB Ubers and my pax LOVE to talk about them.

I'm about to be 57 and I could do donuts around your car and you would crap your pants.

Why though? What's so scary about a guy going around in circles?

Those folks are all Uber Pool pax now.

 

[WindyCityAnt]

I’m 35 and haven’t been pulled over in almost 15 years. I just follow the rules of the road and don’t use my app while driving because I know where I’m going almost 90% of the time unless long trips. My phone sits face down on my lap for pax to see it and respect it more! Better tipping is included!?

 

[Amos69]

Screw that, keep her well fed ?

Anyway what does this have to do with driving?

What exactly does this board have to do with driving? No matter the initial intent this is just another troll board. Less than one percent of posts have anything to do with either rideshare or driving.. The majority of posts are just people hating people or plain old dumb fluffery.

Canadians should not be allowed to work

Uber should disallow people above the age of 60 to drive for Uber. It's heightened safety concern for both the driver and passenger. Their eyesight, reaction, and thought process are impaired to some level.

At least give the rider the option to opt out of old drivers. These old dudes with full white hairs are already one foot in the coffin, I rather not have my risk of being involved in an accident increased.

So having white hair is an indication of feebleness? You're an idiot. How old are you? About 17? 'Cause that's what you sound like. By the way, I have white hair, which I dye a lovely shade of red to throw off the morons who think like you.

Please, tell me you're kidding.

Makes about as much sense ?

WHAT?????? how can you possible say that a person with 60 years has a foot in the coffin? Are you out of your mind? I know a lot of retired people that depend on uber to make a decent living. Some of these "old dudes" as you call them can kick your butt in 30 seconds......they lift weights and train for at least an hour a day on the gym so please so do not generalize things!

Anyone who refers to people over 60 with gratuitous insults ought to be permanently deactivated.

fully agreed - RESPECT comes first!

 

[SuzeCB]

Here we go again with another "thinning the herd" proposal.

Don't most states already have license renewal requirements for older drivers?

Not NJ, although I always thought they should... hell, not just age-based, either...

Retake written, eye & road every 10 years until age 60, and then every 5.

People sometimes develop bad habits over time; get to "comfortable". Some laws change and some people forget different ones that haven't. Eyesight fades and if you don't go to the eye dr. every year, you may not even notice.

WTF, ever heard of laws against age discrimination buddy? We live in a freaking free country, get it straight.

 

[peteyvavs]

By responding to this OP in such an angry manner, you just supplied him with the "woody" he so desperately wanted.

Friends don't let friends assist trolls.

Ignore this fool, he can't even wipe his own butt, that's why he still lives in his moms attic.

 

[Drivincrazy]

The number one violator of checking your blind spots is yours truly age group. I've observed it many times in LV. They also like to race to a.p. pickup...lmao...they get stopped by backed up traffic entering the parking garages where UnL pickup is. They beat me by 3 seconds...wow.

Put Average ( A@@HOLE ) Person on ignore like I just did. Wasted too many minutes of my life reading (s)he/he/it's drivel.

Someday you're going to get old too. You're gonna get a head full of white hair, a face full of wrinkles. So PLEASE...Respect YOUR Elders.
