the state we all hate: Virginia, sent out a cease and desist to Lyft and Uber. No one says what laws are being ignored by the two rental/taxi companies, but I'm sure the state hasn't figured out a way to tax it yet. http://hamptonroads.com/node/718716
Miami is also out to sink Lyft; Lyft opened in Miami in mid May 2014. So far, three Lyft drivers have reportedly been caught by Miami-Dade county police, fined $2000, and had their cars impounded. Lyft has paid for their drivers to get their cars back, cover the $2,000 fine, and for a lawyer to fight the charges. The county had been fining Lyft drivers up to $2,000 each for failing to get a chauffeur registration and for operating a for-hire vehicle without a valid for-hire license — both requirements for cabbies and limo operators. Uber recently launched its lower-end service, UberX, there but their drivers haven't been fined or towed yet. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cops-miami-running-sting-catch-153659605.html
a newly wed couple killed each other in a head on crash. Was her mother the cause of a fight? Did he leave the toilet seat up? Was it a "War of The Roses" re-enactment? Dunno. Might have been a case of "Chicken" But their aim was true, and they're going to be sent to the cemetery to spend the rest of eternity within arms distance. http://fox5sandiego.com/2014/06/06/newlyweds-killed-after-hitting-each-other-in-head-on-crash/#axzz33tQmbOKQ
And finally, a drunk driver tries to evade cops, crashes, kills his passenger, and while laying in the wreckage, next to the person he just killed... and the cops laughed at him. A witness reported to the local news: http://fox5sandiego.com/2012/11/16/witness-claims-cops-taunted-driver-after-fatal-crash/#axzz33tQmbOKQ
