The new roads for a uber driver aren't always familiar. Although safety and caution are key to providing the safest experience from unknown dangers. i.e. Imaginary third lanes cutting off in a hurry!

Goodbye ... lol btw I dont do uberX $300 rental and savage fools anymore I do uberEATS.....
Well, SquadRon, since you don't have a wife, maybe you should get one of those GPS things, where the girl tells you how to get to places .....

Considering I work in the software engineering/hardware designs I know that GPSs and the database and the internet connection do not have the strength
to rapidly progress mainly, because technological device is either damaged and or the connection is too much for the satellite to send and receive the directions for the places to go to.

Now, THAT, there, SquadRon, is just a bunch of malarkey ........

Now, I have a GPS as part of the head unit of my car; mrs humfrz has a cell phone that has a GPS capability.

So, when we travel, I have a sense of direction (that the little voice in my head) that is giving me directions, the girl in the GPS head unit is giving me directions, the girl in my wife's cell phone is giving me directions and ....... of course, mrs humfrz is giving me directions.

NOW, if I can, at age 75, and hard of hearing and half blind, can sort all that out and find where I'm going ...... YOU have no excuses.

I suggest you get a better GPS and/or slow down .......

THE FULL COMPLETE GPS SYSTEM 9001 FOR GPA (I don't UberX anymore just UberEATS ).

So there are extreme cautious steps I take to insure a positive experience for the outlook of the passenger, except that the entrance of the neighborhood I was turning into rapidly got smashed by another driver in an imaginary lane. And these types of accidents happen, because local drivers create a fantasy but decide to think to quick to rush into their haven of the 3rd imaginary lane to dodge traffic. Now that it alerted to turn into the neighborhood that was open from any unknown setting and safe to turn from the traffic ahead then the lane and that open neighborhood was accessible, and my car was braking, signaling and turning to avoid any bicyclists, pedestrians, KIDS at a tempo of calm traffic then this local driver decides to act as if he is in his fantasy and slams into my turn from his imaginary lane. RELAX SLOW DOWN WAIT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD....
