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.


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


Please cite the rule that they are unable to kick out drunk people acting badly.


There isn't one.

Why are you all still debating about getting dropped off in an unsafe spot when there is zero evidence that occurred in this instance?

I agree. Unless the driver has a safety concern, that’s what they signed up for.

My theory was similar to this- she was out of it, and wanted to flag down a car to help her (or was even out of it enough to think she was flagging a cab). Doesn’t explain where her husband was. I mean maybe he was with her the entire time and she was vomiting/ super drunk and he was waiting for her to get better so they could get another ride, and then she ran towards the highway to “catch a cab” and he chased her as best he could. And he is really and truly blameless.


Even if this scenario were true, the husband wouldn’t be blameless since he’s now slandering the Uber driver for something that wasn’t his fault at all. If the problem was that the wife was too drunk then the responsibility for that is squarely with her and her husband.


My theory is that they are both sleep deprived new parents who haven’t had alcohol in a long time. My guess that she was much more drunk than he realized and they got home, paid the sitter, and he fell asleep. She either never went to sleep or woke up drunk and confused and wandered out of her house.
The only thing I can’t figure out is why the Uber and being kicked out is part of the story.

My youngest didn’t sleep through the night for 2 1/2 years. There were many nights I was hallucinating, but I had the sense to ask for help. I can’t imagine drinking alcohol at that time in my life.

I’m confused in this case why a five star rating and tip was left, if the driver did indeed kick a woman out on the side of the road (and at least from the stories, there are no mitigating factors like being drunk, aggressive, whatever).


That’s because the only story is coming from the woman’s family, and they are just saying she was kicked out and then hit by a car.

There’s probably missing pieces of this story but I always leave five stars and a tip no matter what happens. I don’t want to be in the business of policing Uber drivers.

The woman's family is saying the Uber driver was at fault. The hotel husband has only said that his daughter will miss her mother and that he loves his wife.


You’re right, my bad. The go fund me blames the Uber driver but wasn’t created by the husband and it’s the husbands brother that is in articles blaming the Uber driver, not the husband.
