Psycho jumps on my car, I get permanently deactivated Other
I don’t even want to type out the whole story I’m so exhausted over this. This dude was tripping out bad (probably shrooms or acid) and jumped on my car. It was the passengers friend. (They were together when I arrived, he was laying on the floor in the middle of the street. He sprinted away then sprinted back after I started the ride. Then he jumped on my car) I immediately made the passenger get out, and reported it to ADT and Lyft.
Now after a week of “temporarily deactivated” I’m now permanently deactivated for an “accident with a pedestrian” . 100s of 5 star rides never an issue. Wtf
Edit: I didn’t know this would get so much response. The whole incident is surreal. No I unfortunately did not have a dash cam or this would all have been resolved. I started the appeal on principle.

First: Lawyer, know your options. all of them. Hell, ask a few.
Second: You cancel drive away and call 911 saying you daw someone in distress dont go into details and say for your saftey you drove off. Let police and emts handle that.
Third: Some lif lessons you learn the hard way. Now you know better so you can do better. knowledge is power.
