Where is the proof of red and green lights in intersection accidents?
I have not gotten in a crash as I always look both ways and yes that saved me from being T-Boned one time....but WTF?

Edit:
Going to invest in a dash cam for the street lights right or am I right?

Hi Squad, long time no see. Yes, bad drivers are a thing and I've seen my fair share of close calls at intersections. As far as proof, I assume you are referring to right-of-way, so there really isn't concrete proof unless you have a dashcam.

I personally run a Blackvue DR-750S 2-channel system, so front and rear. I've also heard great things about the Thinkware dashcams. Here's a site for dashcams.

Yeah, I really have been meaning to get one sooner rather then later

Good job I haven't thought about getting one personally but ever since I started driving professionally I need all the security I can fuckin get cause looking both ways isn't proof either carproof lol fuck

Dash cam is always a good idea, it can protect yourself in court (or incriminate lol).

Most intersections in my city have traffic cams too.

I only quit my other job to professionally do Uber though because I was finally my own boss to get school out of the way so I can go back to what I was doing in high school making thousands of dollars inside my room with computer software.
I knew school was bullshit after 3rd grade because I was a alien independent learner to the strange "English" school and knew the meaning of school for a first born American foreigner Syrian/Lebanese/Turkish "Arabic" who believed in God and not slaving away(oppressive) for some monkey in the middle bullcrap. The online world and technology is amazing though a lot of money in it for sure. Not too fond of bitcoin being a stock for investors when it can actually be a legit way to supply for money but then again if bitcoin became open as the current currency then I assume it will plunge in the stock market ha.

I thought you had to own the car to do Uber. I can see all kinds of insurance ramifications from renting as an Uber.

IMHO everyone should have a dashcam. When I got sideswiped my lawyer just wanted the Dashcam and it removed 100% of the doubt who was responsible.

Love my dash cam... Never had to actually download the images!

The mere fact that I had the unit and offered to review the recording got the other party to stop spewing BS and "STFU". I will never be without one again.

I had my doubts but they told me $1000 deductible if I am at fault and thats it. It's called the Loss Damage Waiver fee from the Hertz Uber rental program. https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/...e=UberFAQs.jsp

Sign up on Uber and use this code for referral FADIA2600UE

My dilemma is to rent or buy or lease... I wish I had a four door now but the FRS is the FRS probably never be one like it again.

Well I have never looked at costs but would think that buying a nice clean inexpensive base sedan would be the cheapest of the options in the log run. You could probably even write off much of the cost and still hang onto the FRS.

Actually it's just a longer term commitment and non stop cycle for around similar profits I believe...

That's interesting. I would have thought the rental company would wind up charging more than what it would cost to maintain the car and deal with depreciation, though I guess your mileage is higher than average so it might not work out in their favor.

Also, I could have sworn there was something in the standard rental agreement that you weren't operating the car as a taxi service...
