Be Careful Of Unsafe, Uninsured Vehicles and hidden Fees

There are a number of popular services in the transportation industry such as Uber, Lyft and Sidecar. These services, introduced not too long ago, are doing their best to rip people off. The worst part is that they aren’t really held responsible in case of a mishap or any accident. Here are some ways these companies are failing to protect their customers:

You Don’t Even Know The Driver

When an Uber/Lyft driver picks you and a couple of other people up who want to head in the same direction, you neither know the driver nor the other passengers. Think of the risks, first of all you are being transported by a driver who has a different profession during the day and he isn’t technically an employee of the company. You just met the driver and the other passengers through a simple smart phone app and are now exposed to a number of possible threats.

You Don’t Even Know If The Driver Is Insured

One of the biggest drawbacks of these companies is that their drivers do not have proper insurance required to transport passengers around. This shows how easy going these companies are; if they don’t even keep a check on their driver’s insurance, they most certainly don’t do background checks on the drivers. This means the driver could be anyone, even a criminal by day and a driver by night.

How Many Transportation Companies Are Ripping People Off!Customer Support Is Absent

Another huge drawback to such companies is the lack of customer support. If you are travelling and you face problems like time delays or you feel the car doesn’t come up to the hygienic standards, you have no one to complain to!

In worst case scenarios where customers experienced drunk or aggressive drivers, they didn’t have a company phone number to call and report the driver. These companies are merely phone applications and regard themselves as third parties between the drivers and the passengers. There is no accountability, and the drivers know that they are not answerable to the company.

Hidden Charges

Controversy lingers through all the operations of these companies. Another shady aspect is they surge their prices on holidays, if weather is bad or during rush hours. This shows if someone needs a ride during bad weather or traffic, they take advantage of the situation and surge their prices. These ride sharing companies claim that they don’t charge tips at all. According to our analyses and comparisons, they charge a lot.

Now when they are actually not holding responsibility for being the core of these operations, the strange thing is that all payments are processed through these companies and they pay the drivers after making deductions. Added to that, the drivers ask you for a tip in hard cash as well.

A Safe Ride is a must when you have been drinking

This is how drunk driving could end up becoming a nightmare.

For instance; you are at the bar, just in the mood to have a couple of good celebratory beers. You look around and everyone is drinking too. You’re getting a little tipsy and you’re thinking “That’s right man, I am not going to stop drinking!” After chugging down another few beers, you end up all quiet and silent thinking exactly how on earth you are going to drive home. Everything seems to be moving fast and you can barely walk. Your friends tell you to stay, but you are adamant on driving home yourself in your own vehicle.

Now is the part where you drive. You back up and BAAAAM! There goes the head light of the car parked behind you. You panic and start speeding down the block. You keep thinking just to stay awake and all of a sudden out of nowhere you see a car heading for you, you forgot to turn the headlights on and before you can do anything, you slam into the on coming vehicle. You panic even more and start speeding, there are cops on your tail and there comes a point where you get caught. And now you are officially a drunk driver!

How To Avoid This?

We understand and know the psychological effects behind drunk driving. Alcohol is notorious to impair your senses and your motor skills. When people do tell you to take a cab/ride when you are intoxicated, you tend to be aggressive and because your senses are impaired you feel like you can do absolutely anything.

We realized that the rising toll in drunk driving incidents needed to be taken care of and it would have been possible earlier if someone created a more realistic approach. It is not just about preventing bad things from happening; it is about preventing the worst. In the United States, there are countless people dying or even getting handicapped for life due to drunk driving, the sad part is a lot of them are children seated next to drunk parents or in other car involved in the accident.

At SafeRides.org we work tirelessly to solve this problem of drunk or distracted driving and to make our service an attractive, fun, convenient and  affordable option for our customers rather than driving home themselves when they are drunk. Our framework allows us to make luxury cars available at cheap rates so that you don’t have to take a bus or train in your condition; instead have a designated professional driver to drive you and your friends home safely in a fully-licensed and State inspected Sedan, Van, Limo, SUV or Party Bus.

Saferides.org is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization and we have been in the transportation business for over 15 years.

SafeRides passes these low rates directly on to their customers in order to encourage them to avoid driving drunk or distracted and have a good time in a luxurious safe ride when out with their friends and family.

Getting Driven in an Affordable Limo, Van, Party bus or Shuttle bus is just a lot more fun!

A good party is always irresistible. Arriving in a safe, fun and Affordable Limo, Party bus or even a Van or Shuttle bus makes it even more appealing. Why won’t it be? Usually at the Party there’s plenty of food, many friends, and almost always there is alcohol! As appealing as it may sound, drinking to a certain extent in parties is always fun, but driving while you are drunk can result in horrific consequences.

The actions of drunk drivers can lead to a number of accidents in different ways.

First of all, it is commonly known that drunk drivers display aggressive and confrontational behavior, especially behind the wheel. That is because their ability to judge speed and distance is impaired. This results in hazardous driving behaviors such as over speeding, failure to use turn signals, failure to realize how distant or close the other car is, and poor visibility results in failure to see pedestrians. Not only this, there are other countless ways in which drunk driving can result in horrific consequences.

One of the largest reasons for drunk driving is the failure to realize the intensity of your impairment, after getting highly intoxicated. Alcohol slows your reflexes and fools you into believing you are still good to drive.

Let’s take a look at some statistics that are bound to stop you from driving drunk:

  • Every 90 seconds, a person is injured in a drunken driving accident or crash

  • Drunk driving costs each adult in the United States almost $500 per year on DUI’s

  • An average drunk driver has driven drunk almost 80 times before their first arrest

  • The rate of drunk driving is the highest between 21 and 25 year old people

  • Each day almost 28 people die in America as a result of drunk driving car accidents

  • In 2011, an estimated 226 children were killed in drunk driving incidents, out of which 122 were in the car with the drunk driver

  • About one-third of all drunk drivers arrested are repeat offenders

It is always advisable to at least let the alcohol wear off before you get behind the wheel, and according to a scientific study neither strong coffee nor a cold shower can wear off the effects of alcohol, only time can.

Another even more important thing to keep in mind is all the texting between friends that goes on while driving to the parties. One way to avoid accidents caused by impaired or distracted driving is to get driven by a safe professional driver in a properly licensed insured and inspected sedan, van, limo, party bus which gives people the freedom to enjoy their night out without having to worry about driving. However to get people from not driving themselves the alternatives have to be extremely appealing.  A Safe Ride is effective when it is affordable, provided in a clean vehicle and of course it has to be a fun ride.  By using a Safe Ride your party starts when you step into the vehicle and ends when you are delivered back home safely

Remember, it is better to be careful than being regretful later.
