Rideshare Safety Standards Nonexistent

This is the final installment of this series on “on demand rideshare” services such as Uber and Lyft. Here is a comparison of some critical safety issues between taxi services and “on demand rideshare” services.

Ridesharing Also Bad For Drivers

While I too am not a big fan of waiting for taxis, I would rather wait than risk my safety and waive my legal rights by riding in one of these cars.

Read Sidecar and Lyft’s terms of service. In my opinion they are detestable. In Sidecar’s terms, in at least 4 places, they say they will bear no responsibility for your injury or death. This is true even if you are attacked or raped by the driver, injured because of defective maintenance or if the driver is high or drunk.
