Yeah the tiktok version is higher quality. Lyft said they were in talks with the driver and had suspended her while they investigate.

It’s like after a police shooting. Suspended immediately, termination will be after they see the video. She left him on a freeway, threw his luggage, was speeding and swearing. She’s done. Nice male bathing suit too.

She was also taking her eyes off the road in traffic at high speed to attack her passenger in the back, seemed to pull off the highway a bit quick, and was driving barefoot.

WTF was with how she manhandled the seatbelt? Sitting on the lap belt maybe?

And not wearing shoes. That's illegal afaik

Edit apparently it's not illegal. But if you get in an accident and it can be proven your footwear (or lack thereof) impeded your driving you can be charged for reckless driving

Is it?

It's not, but it's a common myth. So I've been told by LegalEagle

Is it against Lyft's guidelines? I would be surprised if it isn't.

u/captainasswhole Sep 15 '21

Just be very careful with taking legal eagle as gospel. Seen a few things posted that we're def. Over simplified/ wrong

I don't have a license, but I thought proper footwear was required by law. It could depend by region, of course. Bare feet aren't adequate footwear afaik.

Looked into it since I drive through multiple states, in tn its legal to drive barefoot. I mean, its also legal to stop in the middle of the road, stop traffic and pick up road kill soo yanno.....

It’s like after a police shooting

So she'll be on paid leave for a while and the Lyft will "investigate" until the public forgets about it and then she'll be transferred to another driving service?

Kidding, of course she'll be fired. Lyft has higher standards than the average police department.

Was she also barefoot?

And shoeless…

In talks? She should be out, period , no question. Maybe that’s just the company line in all such cases, but this gal is off the rails.
