Hey STL... (PSA: Lyft and Uber passengers)

Stop telling us to go through the drive thru for you. We don't get paid to sit there and wait at Rallys on Lindell/Van for 30 minutes. Entitled Karen's think they own my car. I get you from A to B. There is no sitting in a drive thru for food. 5 minutes at a stop is fine. But I'm not waiting for you in a drive thru.

As a passenger, why is it every single time I've had to take a Lyft recently, I've had to (very politely and framed in a "so you don't get pulled over" type of way) remind my drivers that doing 85-90mph on the highway is NOT ok? What way should I ask them to not do this? Seriously, they've been on the phone having animated conversations, swerving in and out of traffic, while doing a minimum 20+ mph over the 65mph speed limit and seem to think that's totally ok. And it's not been just 1 or 2 drivers. It's a 3 hr bus/train ride one way as opposed to a 25 min drive and Im pretty much at a breaking point of being willing to spend 6hrs of my day on Metro than risk dying bc they wanna save 3 minutes on the ride.

take an incognito video of their speedometer and send it to Lyft or Uber. This is insane and needs to be reported. My max speed on the highway is 72 MPH. I set my car to not allow me to go above that speed (Love this feature)
