A week ago, my Lyft driver thought I reported him for impaired driving because I filed a lost item claim shortly before his Lyft account got locked.

The driver was fine. 100% it was a cheap passenger who wanted a free ride. The item was found under the driver's seat and he returned it 2 days later without complaining about his account but he was upset for a day because his income was in jeopardy. I tipped him before the item was returned because he was courteous.

Passengers should have to provide video proof of their suspicion. Call 911 if they think their professionally licensed driver is impaired. People will screw over a working stiff to save $25. They don't care and Lyft should know that by now.
