[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uber should make it prohibited to kick people out of the car regardless of vomit and drunkenness unless there is a recorded incident of violence or threat. They chose to pick up drunk people if their car gets damaged they can charge the guest.[/quote]

GTFO, drunk people chose to get drunk and book a ride, they can suffer the consequences. Unless Uber forces people to disclose "I am drunk" then the responsibility doesn't fall solely on the driver.[/quote]

Nope. Uber is a common carrier and has a duty of care towards passengers. They are not free to leave passengers in unsafe situations. [/quote]

The contract goes both ways. Passengers have a responsibility to be safe passengers, and not damage the driver's vehicle. Passengers are not free to damage personal property or behave in a way that puts the driver at risk.

Drinking is a voluntary choice. Riding in a rideshare is a privilege, not a right.

Hello, it’s not a regular arms-length contract. There is longstanding legal precedent requiring common carriers (which Uber is under most state law) to have a duty of care towards passengers. The Uber driver cannot kick a passenger out into an unsafe situation. [/quote]

Can posters obsessed with this common carrier stuff please start your own thread? There is zero evidence that the uber forced the woman out of the car on 495. ZERO. The uber receipt shows a side road, not 495 and a time stamp that is 2 hours earlier. In addition, the Virginia State Police, which is the law enforcement that governs the interstate, specifically and publicly stated that they have also found NO evidence to substantiate a claim that the woman was dropped off from her uber in the middle of 495.

So this common carrier argument is completely irrelevant. Maybe start a thread on the poor LSU student who go out of her uber last year and was struck by a car and died. But this thread, this fact pattern, has NOTHING to do with your posts, so stop hijacking this one. Thanks.[/quote]
