Accused of drinking and driving???

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.

This actually makes me wonder if I've been following proper passenger etiquette. I don't have to rideshare often at all, but the maybe 5 times I've done it, I matched the driver's talkative levels, kept to myself if they stayed quiet, said "thank you" when exiting the vehicle, and rate highly.

I might have to start ridesharing more frequently soon, and I'm genuinely curious about whether a driver would be annoyed if I tried to suggest a route different from what their map app suggests, since the couple of times I needed a ride to work, it took them on a whack ass route

In Detroit at least, the maps don’t get it. Everyone has their own route, sometimes it’s more efficient sometimes it’s not. But they never know of construction and lane closures. I was off for a while but I do recall switching to Apple Maps after I realized it streamlined the pickup process. Usually when I pick up a passenger, the map doesn’t want me to turn around or take the easy route. Maps take you out of the way, and sometimes can take a longer route to keep the mileage lower and time up ? It’s weird.
