Drunk driving is a clear danger to everyone on the road. In the U.S., 30 people die each day from drunk driving accidents. Alcohol intoxication impairs skills needed for safe driving, such as the ability to track moving objects, to maintain a single travel lane, to control one’s own speed, or to pay attention to the task of driving. These impacts often begin before a driver has reached the legal blood alcohol content limit. In fact, impacts begin with the first drink.
If you suspect that your Riverside Uber driver is drunk and you have not yet gotten into the vehicle, do not get in the vehicle. Instead, call 911 immediately and report the driver to Uber. If you are already in an Uber and start to notice signs of driver impairment, ask to get out at the nearest safe area. Call 911 to report the driver to authorities, and report the driver through your Uber app.
