If You Have Tickets, Can You Drive For Uber/lyft?

Driving for Uber/lyft has become a popular way for many individuals to earn extra income or even make a full-time living. However, one question that often arises is whether having tickets on your driving record disqualifies you from becoming an Uber driver. In this blog post, we will explore this topic and provide you with some valuable insights. First and foremost, it's important to understand that Uber has certain requirements that potential drivers must Follow.

Checking Your Driving History

When embarking on a journey as a rideshare driver, one must be prepared to undergo the necessary steps to ensure a safe and secure experience for both themselves and their passengers. One such step involves granting consent to the rideshare company's background check, a routine procedure typically conducted on an annual basis. This essential process plays a vital role in upholding the standards of safety and reliability that rideshare services strive to maintain. By willingly subjecting themselves to this scrutiny, drivers demonstrate their commitment to fostering a trustworthy environment within the ridesharing community.

Few things investigators look for on a driver’s record:

• A minimum of one year experience as a licensed driver

• No more than three minor incidents over the previous three years

• Zero tolerance for reckless driving or DUI convictions

• Any speeding violations can’t exceed 20 mph over the speed limit

What actions should I take in the event that I am issued a traffic ticket?

Many might believe that paying the fine is less expensive. However, this is often the case. If you are not eligible for TVS, even a minor infraction will result in an auto insurance premium increase of $500 annually. Furthermore, how much will you lose in earnings after just one year if you are terminated from Uber? Multiply this number by three to determine the number of years you must wait for this infraction to be removed from your driving record.

Do you believe that it would be in your best interest to retain the services of an attorney? Especially when you consider that if you pay the fine, the only possible outcome is that you are found liable, whereas hiring a lawyer might result in the charge being dropped or reduced.
