Uber and Lyft drivers have been plagued by tickets and citations in every city in the US. It can eat up a good portion of their earnings if it gets out of control. Unfortunately, you cant write off tickets or citations as an expense or loss, leaving a driver in the negative completely out of pocket. I’ve found in my experience and observing drivers over the last 7 years the number one reason for tickets is because drivers feel like they have special privileges to pick up and drop off riders anywhere they want or somewhat as taxi drivers do with their fares. A lack of DMV traffic laws, city rules and regulations is another major reason as many drivers find themselves subject to citations. This can be a hazard and danger to the general public, and get a TNC driver a hefty ticket or major violation.
As the first rideshare driver in the industry, driving since 2011, I have yet to get one ticket or citation driving for Uber, Lyft and Sidecar. I made it a point to know the traffic laws, rules and regulations, not to avoid tickets, but for being the safest driver I can be with regards to public safety. When a driver puts safety first, as a rule, he/she reduces the chances of receiving a citation, and of course, increases public safety.
Hopefully, this video will help Uber and Lyft drivers avoid tickets and citations by following the traffic laws, and be a safer and more conscious Uber and Lyft driver.

Have you started driving for Lyft? Lyft is still offering generous sign-up bonuses for new Lyft drivers up to $750 in some markets. Check out the updated Lyft new driver sign up bonus list in your city or market and begin driving today. If not your driving for both Uber and Lyft you’re losing potential income as having both platforms at your disposal helps to maximize your income by allowing you access to both Uber and Lyft riders, thus decreasing your wait time for incoming requests when you run both apps at the same time. Most rideshare drivers are now using both platforms and taking advantage of incentives, bonuses, and guarantees that are offered by Lyft and Uber. Having 2 rideshare platforms can also act as a back up in the event of network-related issues, maximizing surge zones or because of temporary deactivation.
