You cannot prevent other people from making bad choices, no matter how safe you are. You might get into a collision with another drunk motorist while riding a ridesharing. Additionally, drivers for Uber or Lyft can be operating vehicles while intoxicated.
When it comes to not granting permission to any motorist with a criminal record that includes a criminal offense, a DUI conviction, or any of a number of other specified crimes. If a driver has a DUI conviction on their record within the last seven years, they will most likely not be eligible for Lyft or Uber when they apply. However, only because a driver was not found guilty of DUI does not indicate they did not drive while intoxicated; rather, it simply means they were never detained. Furthermore, while signed into the app as a driver, rideshare companies tend to have zero-tolerance policies regarding intoxicated driving.
Florida’s ridesharing law not only sets insurance standards but also guidelines that businesses such as Uber and Lyft must adhere to when vetting and approving new drivers. In the unlikely occasion that a hazardous driver causes an accident, a ridesharing business may be held negligent if it breaches one of these rules. If you feel the rules might have been breached by companies like Uber or Lyft for the driver of your trip, contact Ovadia Law Group, you can reach us at 1-800-674-9396.
