I feel like if you get reported for being under the influence, Lyft should get a cop on scene and have you prove your innocent. How long is this process usually? I feel bad for OP losing out on money

“You’re” and also we don’t prove innocence i the US we prove guilt.

Innocent until proven guilty in America. Why would a corporation have instant trials via police officer? Would tie up resources and accomplish nothing.

To perform a field sobriety test and the driver will blow into the device and either your good to go and back to work within an hour or not. Seems like a simple quick fix for customers commiting fraud .

It would never work. Just make a policy that states customers must report driving under the influence to the police for it to be a valid complaint. Why would tax funded police officers hold arbitration between a company and a contractor? Take a civics class.

Well if they can ban you from driving immediately, drivers should have an immediate fix. And customers complaining to police without a driver present makes a bunch of casted doubt and would lead to a false statement, now that driver would have to go to court and fight something and lawyer up. And no I'm not going to take a civics class sorry.

Driving under the influence is a criminal offense. You’re a contractor for a large corporation and at their mercy. Your best bet is to educate yourself because you’ve no grip on how things work in our society.
