a lot of the time it happens so an area can keep its tax dollars local or keep its rates low rather 5han get revenue siphoned to other neighborhoods. the city of industry in la is a prominent example.

i think the coolest beep person is the one who mashes the horn to get the rear end in a top hat sitting at the green light to move.

the thing i usually see is idiots yielding too much at entry points, sometimes to cars that aren’t even there! :spooky:

e: i also like the idea of you staring another motorist down from your car, one hand on the wheel and the other menacingly brandishing a partially used tube adhesive from your dent kit.

A CNN investigation has found that at least 103 Uber drivers in the US have been accused of sexually assaulting or abusing their passengers in the past four years.

The drivers were arrested, are wanted by police, or have been named in civil suits related to the incidents.

At least 31 drivers have been convicted for crimes ranging from forcible touching and false imprisonment to rape, and dozens of criminal and civil cases are pending, CNN found.

the last cab driver I had in SF a couple of months ago complained about the total lack of background checks on uber drivers, and then proceeded to tell me about how he recently spent a few weeks in jail for "beating up a bum that had smashed his cab's window" before the cops arrested him, and how much of a shame it is that americans can no longer protect their own property. The strong eastern european accent made it kind of better.

E: he also complained about the presence of video cameras in his lovely apartment complex (as he described it) where his girlfriend apparently got assaulted on multiple occasions by people breaking and entering. The cameras made him feel like they no longer had freedoms anymore, and it was big-brother like and felt like a prison.

anyway that's my uber vs. cab drivers story for the day.

(I had a cabbie who picked me up at the SFO airport once, and asked if I could pay him in drugs. Not the best place for someone to just be carrying drugs but welp)
