[@boxofwine8001]

#8 is wrong. Not all states require two party consent for recording.

[@boxofwine8001]

It would be easier for me to list states that require two party consent since there is only 11 of them. California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington. Lyft actually suggest using a dash camera or other recording device as long as you follow state guidelines.

[@boxofwine8001]

In the video, you say it’s a US law. Which implies it’s a violation of a persons constitutional right, or that the US Supreme Court has made a ruling that two party consent is required. Now another question would be, is a Rideshare vehicle considered a public place? Yes it is a private vehicle, but open for public use just like a store.

[@TheRideshareHub]

Anthony Anthony Anthony good point! I think it's a private place.

[@boxofwine8001]

I think it’s debatable. I don’t know if there is any case law on it.

[@TheRideshareHub]

well, if you think of it this way: no one can just jump inside another person's vehicle. When you order a vehicle, you are ordering that a spot for yourself and possibly somebody else. You are not expecting that just anyone can get in. Also, that car is owned by someone not for use by the general public. Going back to your point, a store has the expectation that anyone can just walk in. Sure, you can get kicked out of a grocery store, but you can't just walk in a car as you could a grocery story. I don't think the two compare. But good insight!

The Lyft rental program is far from free. It costs $255 a week, with a bonus of $60 if you drive 75 rides. Which is hard to do unless your driving long hours every day. So even if you make that your paying $195 a week for the car. The rental people are rude and don’t seem to value the custom and try to keep you in the same car for the duration of your Lyft driving experience. I just want to let people know the truth, their are some nice things about the rental program if you are driving full time, like free tires and oil changes. The only problem with that is that you often have to wait around for a long time and that into driving time, which stops you from getting the bonus. Honestly it’s very stressful trying to achieve 75 rides just to hit that first $60 bonus. Drivers achieving the ultimate 110 bonus do get $145 off the $255 a week price but they must be living in their car to achieve that. I have made that full bonus twice during busy weeks but it’s not a healthy or safe way to live and Lyft should not be enslaving their drivers to such an ordeal to pay a fair amount for the rental car in my humble opinion.

Guys, a great point was made in a post down below about picking up teenagers. I had an experience with a teenage female that requested a rideshare and I was driving Uber at that time. It was after closing time at the local mall here and when I arrived to pick her up, I didnt know it was a young teen female. I told her that I was not gonna take her due to the fact that she was underage and my policy was I dont pick up young teenagers so late at night. I cancelled the ride but I offered to call her parents to have them come pick her up which was barely a less then three mile ride. I told her that I wouldnt leave her stranded per say for obvious safety reasons for her but she needed to have her parents come get her. Well after I cancelled the ride, sure enough, I got a call from a concerned parent and was wanting to know what was going on with his daughter and why she wasnt on her way home. I kindly explained to the parent that I have a rule about picking up young teenagers so late at night as recent headlines in media outlets were citing rideshare drivers raping women and what have you and I was not gonna get blamed for something I didnt do. I told the father, I was not gonna leave his daughter stranded but If he didnt come get her, I was gonna be forced to call the local police and advise them of what was going on. He tells me he will call another Uber driver and hangs up. I called the police and they showed up within less then 10 minutes. I explained to the officer what was going on and he asked the teenager to call her dad. That's when the other Uber driver shows up. He gets out and sees what's going on and I walked over and told the other Uber driver what was going on, he basically said I ain't having that either, not in my car, no way and drove off. The officer calls the dad and told the dad to get off his lazy ass and come down to the mall and pick her up. The motto to this guys is, be careful about picking up young teenagers. If they have someone with them like an older friend or family member, then fine, but it's your discretion on it. I have a dash cam in my car so if the young teenager wanted to try and say I tried to make a pass at her, my dash cam woulda proved otherwise. For those that have a dash cam, make sure that audio is recording at ALL TIMES! Drive safe everyone....cheers from San Diego!😀😀🍺🍺🍻🍻🥂🥂

Thinking about starting to drive? Please expect 4 azzholes in your car for a $3.75 minimum fare. MOST trips around the city pay the minimum.

I would agree to both based on my experience. Lyft riders can tend to be pickier about minor things, like the type that don’t get you deactivated, while an Uber rider will take a 45 minute ride and then make up everything short of that the driver was smoking a blunt and shotgunning beers while driving yet even though after the ride they make it seem like the driver almost got them killed a dozen times during the trip but during the ride didn’t feel endangered enough to compel them to end the ride early. I had my Uber account places on hold twice for BS complaints. It would have been a third time however that rider had tried that trick many times I came to find out from a Green Light Hub visit the first time I got that dreaded “A Message From Uber” and they suspended her and immediately reactivated me. After that I decided to just stick with Lyft. Uber wouldn’t even accept dash cam footage from me in defense of the allegation. Lyft on the other hand has removed at least a few ratings after sending in proof that the rating was unfair (these were mostly cleanliness flags and I sent pics of the car around the time of the rating). My ratings range between 4.89 to 4.97 and currently 4.94 on Lyft. The only two safety complaints I got with Lyft happened to be on the same day and both were for driving too slow and one also stated I had weaved slightly.

ADA Service animal is an animal (usually a dog) that is trained to do work or a perform a specific task. Emotional support, comfort, and therapy dogs, cats, squirrels (yes a lady tried to take one on a plane), and other various animals are not service animals. Uber and Lyft and the law require us to take service animals. You can also usually tell the difference. ADA service dogs are very well trained, calm, obedient and listen very well.

I hate that they have added stops. I think it is ridiculous to expect people to wait at such a low rate of pay. There should be a 2 minute limit to stops. I actually called Lyft a week or two ago because I was waiting for 10 minutes outside a hotel in what I thought was a very unsafe situation. Seemed like it could be a drug deal. I called Lyft and said I only had to wait 2 or 3 minutes so I cancelled the ride and left. I was rated 1 star by that person, the only rating I have ever had below 4. When someone asks me if I can wait for them without adding a stop I say yes but only if they complete the current ride and request another. I tell them I will wait outside until they are ready as long as I do not get another request and they can just input a new request when they are ready to leave.

I agree and it sucks because whenever we stand up for ourselves they will hammer our rating. I told a guy he could not smoke in my car. I got a one star right after that.

You GLOSSED OVER details. Lyft Drive Express is a BAD DEAL. The cars are through Hertz Rental. You must have a Credit Card to rent the car. They hold a deposit on the rental. Your choices of cars are limited. You must hit all of the requirements AND you cannot turn down or not accept any rides. If you do not hit the daily requirements then you will be charged $21 per day for the rental car. While on Drive Express you CANNOT use Instant Pay. Your pay is sent out once per week so you have to wait to get paid. If you do not drive full time then do not use Drive Express because you will not meet all of the requirements and be charged the daily rental car fee which is deducted from your pay with you receiving what is left over. Where I am at the Car Wash charges more for Uber/Lyft Drivers. They have unlimited Wash Program but if you are a Driver the fee they charge is more vs a person who is not a Driver. Audio Recording on a Dash Cam is legal as long as the Driver is a party to the recording. It is illegal and eavesdropping when the the Driver is not there in the car and it records conversation between the passengers only. I post the warning stickers that there is recording inside the car. Recording what happens to the front view of the dash cam is legal because it is in a public place and there is no expectation of privacy on the streets in public. To audio record only one party must be aware and that party is the driver. The dash came is clearly visible and there are warning stickers posted around the car. While most people get their dash cams so they record the view through their windshield, dash cams often record audio from inside the passenger compartment as well. ... If your dash cam records a conversation between people in the car that you are not a part of, it would be considered "eavesdropping" in many states.Jan 3, 2017

To get into details of all 40 secrets would have made for a 3 hour plus video! This video was simply meant to spark conversations, which is great what you are doing. Thank you for your comments Charles, they don't go unnoticed. Great insight you provide here! Lyft Express Drive is, however, a great option for someone who doesn't have a car and is able to hit the ride qouta. I wouldn't recommend it to part-time drivers, as seen in my most recent video "20 Reasons To Drive for Uber & Lyft in 2019." Thanks for watching Charles! :)

[@rickmatteson6364]

As far as the dashcam goes, recording video is no problem at all. The one or two party consent has to due with the audio recording portion. By having the dashcam clearly visible that alone should be sufficient however posting notice on the door or headrest stating that rides are recorded for the safety of all parties involved would certainly be adequate. Maybe even adding a comment that dashcam footage will only be shared with the rideshare service company and/or law enforcement to assist with investigations of breach of service or unlawful activity may help avoid riders objections. Regardless or single or dual consent, from a legal standpoint the recording isn't so much an issue as what you do with same. Divulging recordings of private parties without their consent to the public or any other entity that does not have any legitimate need for same is where you become liable for the outcome of doing so. The simple version to all this is record it, archive it and only share with the rideshare company used and/or law enforcement if necessary to defend/protect yourself against an improper allegation made towards you or in legal situations to prove that you were not a party to any illegal activity in which the rider may have been involved. Several other of these tips are incorrect mainly because of the significant variances between markets. This list may be mostly correct in a specific market. **Disclaimer: I am not an attorney nor licensed in any manner to provide legal advice and nothing in this response should be taken as such.

@@rickmatteson6364 I will clarify a few points for you. The Lyft Driver in New York who video the passenger yelling and cursing at him while he sat there silently, that video went viral. The passenger tried to get the Driver fired. The Driver posted the video on KZbin and the Passenger got Fired. The video was recorded on the Driver cell phone to defend himself because the passenger was yelling and cursing at him. I had a passenger who refused to put on his seat belt so I cancel the ride. All was recorded as proof to DEFEND myself. The passenger was yelling and cursing at me as he got out of the car that he would have me fired.. Remember the Doctor who assaulted the Uber Driver, she kicked his car and put a big dent in the side, threw his papers and documents in to the streets, she was drunk, yelling and cursing at him? Once she was outside the car NO CONSENT TO AUDIO RECORD IS NEEDED BECAUSE SHE IS IN A PUBLIC PLACE. Once she began her assault the Driver had the right to record as EVIDENCE to use against her in CRIMINAL proceedings. She was Fired. Remember the DA from Texas who was drunk and made threats to get the I am not sure if it was a Lyft or Uber Driver Fired? He had the right to record at that point to protect himself because this Woman was making the threat she would have him arrested and fired. She was the one who was fired. In San Francisco a Uber Driver hit and killed a 4 year old Asian Girl. Her Family hired a Lawyer named Christopher Dolan who sued and they were awarded $4,000,000 The Driver did not have a dash cam. On evening in 2017 I picked up Mr. Dolan and his Wife but I did not know who he was. He introduced himself to me and gave me almost 1 hour worth of free Legal Advice. I rushed out and got a DASH CAM because this was possibly the Counselor who will be sitting across the table from me deposing me in a Law Suit so I heeded what he was saying to me. Civil Litigation is REAL, there are so many things Lyft and Uber do not tell New Driver about. There are so many mistakes I made and wish I knew those things.. I am so thankful I did not get SUED. One example is in California it is ILLEGAL to pick up a MINOR with out an ADULT PRESENT. The Parent or Parents can call the Police and say you abducted their child with out their permission or you drove off with their child with out their permission. Now you are in Deep Sh+t and Screwed trying to do what a $7.00 ride, NOT WORTH IT. Lyft and Uber say nothing about this to New Drivers, when I inform them they are in disbelief. Finally is the car seat and booster seat. I cannot tell you how many times I see Drivers who are not from this Country who are Immigrants picking up passengers who have children which by law require a car seat or a booster seat. One time I refused the ride but someone lied on me reporting to Lyft that I did the ride so I told them to check again and they will see I cancel the ride. This was before they had the option to state ride cancel due to no child seat. After checking they apologized for the mistake/misinformation.

I have been a Lyft driver since May of 2017 had a car but I bought it from a bad dealership here in Austin. Tried Hyrecar.com but the rates are way too expensive for me as a full-time driver. I signed up for Lyft Express Drive today and put down the $250.00 deposit using my debit card which they accepted. No credit check unlike Uber's Hertz program because I talked to the lyft Hub just to make sure and they said no credit check. After I signed up with Express Drive I was given a Friday appt to go in and pick up my car either a 2018 chevy malibu or Nissan Sentra (hope it's the Chevy) said in email bring credit card or debit card (My debit card is already on file with them) for payment purposes, along with drivers license and have the Lyft app installed which I already do. Yes, you have to try and get I believe 45 rides during peak hours and 110 total rides including peak rides and if you can then the rental is basically free except for tax and fees. They just started recently if you do a certain amount of rides they do unlock the express pay so you can start cashing out at end of the day.

[@josephr.7879]

I have driven for Uber and Lyft for over 3 years. Things have changed in both ride share venues. However; I have experienced that with Lyft more of the frugal riders use it and without offending anyone, usually very large people get Lyft and complain of the size of vehicle used for Lyft such as a Chevy Aveo. Eccentric and gay men and women use Lyft for the cost efficiencies and request to pull over at any given destination behind something so the crowd in club or restaurant does not see them. For the most part Lyft riders do not tip and make a mess with the mud or dirt in their shoes and are quick to complain Lyft of the conditions of the vehicle. Also, Lyft riders will wait 10 to 15 minutes to get a ride to be cheap before requesting an Uber ride that 5 minutes away for $2 more. Lyft did compensate for long distance pickup, but now Lyft will not pay for any long distance pick up. I sometimes drive XL and when a Lyft rider request a X Lyft and gets my XL the Lyft rider wants to reassure that they will not be charged for the XL and sometimes they ask for to wait a minute and they call in all their buddies and tell them there's extra room in the vehicle. I immediately deny more than 4 passengers on Lyft X and rider files a fabricated story to Lyft and I'm suspended for 1 hour. Other times a Lyft rider is somewhat handicap and becomes excited to my XL and call in his wife to bring in loads of laundry baskets to fill up the entire back and ask me to help "and the promise to tip extra" and on the way to the laundry mat they add a destination to McDonald's and then another destination to 7-11 Gas station for Soda & Snacks and then to their friends house to pick up a party favor and then finally to the laundry mat and all that comes to 54 minutes and I get $9.75 because Lyft goes by miles not minutes. And no tip, the promise was a lie. This has happened many times on Lyft riders and I try to stay at the airport queue. Now Lyft will send me or anyone to the back of the airport queue if I decline the ride or I cancel after waiting an hour for a request. Lyft costed me headaches, damaged seats from over weight riders, gas, time, mileage, many vacuums and trash pickups, insults from riders and lie from Lyft the company itself. This is the most abusive App on the planet against my property, dignity, work ethics and my pocket. Just imagine one of my drives was almost 2 hours way into the Boondocks where there's no civilization for a mere $46 that's about 120 minutes divided by 2 equals 60 and that ride should be at least $50 to $60. It took 1/2 a tank of gas to get there and another 1/2 to get back without a rider since it was unpopulated. Once I arrived back in my home are I had to fill up at $42 since gas prices are higher plus again no tip. I noticed other Lyft riders canceling the long trip request before me, now I understand why. It's a waste of time, gas and there's no money. It's best to stay local. Lyft has strategize a profitable business for them and deceivingly make it attractive for the drivers. What's more is an XL driver is forced by Lyft to accept X riders against the drivers wish and sometimes taking an XL away from families with children and leaving them to opt a Taxi or a shuttle bus. Now that Lyft has been out for years I have learned that are Cheating Educated Riders from foreign countries and the States also who manipulate the system by moving their Pin pick up location further away than where the rider is requesting to be picked up, this saves money for the rider since they managed to get picked up about a mile ahead of the Pin drop which is a free mile and also away from the PrimeTime pink area and then they request to be dropped off way sooner than the set destination. Once the trip is completed the Cheating Educated Riders reports Lyft the driver did not follow set destination and they want a refund or discount and Bam! The riders gets the discount and driver get short changed. Sometimes the same type of rider will tell the driver once they get to the destination the rider is new and made a mistake on their pickup destination and tells the driver to drive up further or at another street. By then the Cheating Educated Rider cancels on the driver and gets a Free Cancellation since the driver has moved away from set pickup destination.

Longest on 18.oo bonus, took 3 hrs to get my 2 ride🙄. And ,,,,the cancellation, even if you have not pulled up the navigation! It takes your rating! So 1 cancel= 1 deduction But how many rides to get a point? I'm well over 1000 too.

All he is trying to do is get you to sign up on his account so he can get money!
