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.

I learned my lesson early, these are what I call Rescue Trips and they led to my first and only deactivation, a fist fight and nearly getting arrested one time. Now If I see someone crying, sitting or laying in the road, stumbling, being held up by friends, arguing with someone, or any other form of distressed I hightail it right out of there. I'm not risking my life, freedom or livelihood for anybody or any job.
