This is why I use Lyft almost exclusively now. Took an Uber in SF about 5 years ago and legit thought I was going to die when I felt the driver-side of the car jump up onto the median to squeeze past stopped cars and then cut left on a red light across Van Ness because "not many cars coming." And that was after I got car sick from him playing Forza with me in the backseat to get to that point. NYC had similar experiences but I wasn't paying for those rides so if I die, I die.
I had to ******* bribe a Lyft driver with $20 cash to get me from my house to the airport in 15 minutes one day because I wasn't sure he would actually speed

Uber and Lyft are pretty much the same out here. Some drivers use both.

That's been my experience. Dudes have both Uber and Lyft placards in their cars.

I’ve been a handful of times. Drove in once…. NEVER again. Driving in through whatever tunnel I drove in through was STRESSFUL. Swear there was less than 4 inches between me and the wall, and me and the car on the other side of me.

When I moved to Brooklyn after grad school, I drove an 18’ Penske through the Holland tunnel, across Canal, and over the Manhattan bridge during rush hour, and I only thought I was going to die or ruin everything owned 6 or 7 times.

what are you guys talking about? we uber'd/lyft'd all over NYC and there was no chance of dying since the fastest we got up to was probably 4mph.

The chances the drivers will take when they see any opening. The speed at which they will go to take advantage of said opening. Using sidewalks as extra lanes. Backing up on the freeway when people miss their exit to get to the exit they just missed. This is just a sample of what I dealt with during my week work trip

I dunno, maybe the economy tanks, Biden gets blamed and Dems walk into a disaster next year.
But if it is a close race, there might be some risk to running Ron "the guy who is against Roe, wants to know you teenage girl's mensural cycle, voted to gut Social Security and Medicare, and tortured people" DeSantis
I dunno, maybe the fact he lifted COVID restrictions early might save him

I just mentioned it because that is one of the talking points conservative and centrist pundits are using to make the case for him

I still don't see how Da Hit Dog Clown will beat Trump. Republicans are already saying that they hope Trump steps aside which means those same people will vote for him in the voting booth.

If you can drive here, you can drive anywhere. Racing teams should recruit more NYers. We'd dominate Le Mans.

I have to agree. From what I experienced NYCers use their daily driving as time trials to get their cars right for Formula 1 and Nascar Sundays

good news is you never need to drive in NYC, at least for the main attractions, and you don't even need taxi/Uber/Lyft most of the time. unless of course you're moving a family or a fridge, which is 99% of trips.

Uber/lyft is a menacing force on these roads followed by Karen for sure. Karen tried to yell at me and chase me down plowing snow in a tractor the other day but I hit a few cuts and evaded her. 
Then you got the old people who aren’t even sure where they are, driving down sidewalks and what not.

as someone who is a car owner in NYC. What pisses me off is them blocking some of these street parking spots. Like my old neighborhood is turning a 2 lane boulevard into a 1 lane and just blocking parking along on road. Like this doesn’t help anyone but ride sharing. And rid sharing has been the biggest cause of increase in traffic in the area over the past 7 years and it’s not even close.

Mf’ers block everything. Uber will throw it in reverse on the interstate and back up a quarter mile because they missed their exit.
Stop in the middle of a three lane road because they are too dumb to know what a turn lane is.
You name it they do it or will crash into it.

I’ve learned to just pay a few extra for Lyft preferred or Lyft Lux. Drivers seem to give a damn more about your life when they’re actually driving a decent car

I only roll with Uber Black now. My firm will reimburse me so I learned from my NY journey that I have to play to pay. I recently dropped off my car for work at the dealership and didn’t want to deal with a Loaner so I took an Uber Black to work for a few days and boy was that so much better. Clean, respectful drivers and snacks. When I took a regular Uber comfort to pickup my car dude was driving in Denver like he just arrived from NYC. Super reckless and crazy. Had to hit him with a 3 star review which I didn’t do even in NYC.I’ve learned to just pay a few extra for Lyft preferred or Lyft Lux.
