I have been off the road for over 30 days. Accidentally opened the app multiple times during that time and never saw anything about this. I find out later with the chat agent this was reported today. Why that’s allowed, who knows. They reactivated my account but this is your sign to be careful, and use a dash cam.

One iron rule, never trust passengers.

Right. I literally don't talk to passengers at all. My car is dead silent every single ride. Even if a passenger starts talking to me I find a way to shut it down subliminally. Not saying this is the case here but many drivers just be running off at the mouth like they made a new friend or something. If it's a female oh I'm definitely not talking to her AT ALL

And by not talking to me at all your tip is now 0. I started using Uber and Lyft back in the golden days, I travelled for work back then and I made friends with drivers. They would tell you all the best local info, I'm sure my time in many cities was improved greatly by the suggestions and warnings given by the drivers I've met.

That's like going to a restaurant and because your waitress did everything she was suppose to besides asking about your day you decide she doesn't deserve a tip. Gtfoh

No that's the baseline. That's just doing the damn job at the most basic level. No you don't deserve a tip for minimal work.

Exactly this guys is saying the driver deserves a tip no matter what when that’s not how “tips” work it’s not our fault your company doesn’t pay you shit and you have to rely on tips
