If you're a frequent cab service user, you know that there are some special Uber drivers on the road that go above and beyond to earn that precious five-star rating from you - or the opposite. They might have stocked their ride full of free goodies, brought their adorable dog along in the backseat, told you a painfully funny story, or given you outstandingly friendly customer service even when you were out-of-your-mind drunk. On the flipside, maybe they got terribly lost trying to find you, crashed their car and kicked you out in the pouring rain, or just creeped you the F out. Driving for Uber isn't for everyone, after all. Love it or hate it, Uber has certainly brought many cherished memories, hilarious stories, and the possibility to meet many funny people, and we're honoring that by rounding up the best ones we could find on the Internet. Scroll down to find out how those best driver ratings are earned and lost on the road, and tell us the best or worst Uber experience you've had in the comments.

Coolest Uber Driver
Anna Wu 8 years ago
There are many, many Deaf and hard of hearing drivers on the road. Hearing can be an asset, but I find that paying attention to your surroundings is more important. I would hazard to guess that the number of accidents caused by loss of hearing are very few if any.
thebridget 8 years ago
In addition, YES it's safe for a deaf person to drive. If not, they would be unable to obtain ac driver's license. People are denied driver's licenses all the time due to medical restrictions. This is one I'm definitely not worried about.

I'm curious. Do deaf drivers use or have installed in their cars anything that assists those with hearing impairment? I know there are devices to aid other drivers with disabilities such as pedal extenders etc. Am curious if there are such aids for deaf drivers.
Amanda Ferraz 8 years ago
I've prevented a few crashes by honking, even cases that I wouldn't have been involved but alerted the distracted drivers. So, I know that hearing helps a lot. But, I guess that same as blind people have the other senses heightened, probably deaf have great vision and reflexes. Also, they don't hear but usually (if not all) have a great censor for sound vibrations

Not to say that there's anything wrong with that people but don't you think you need to hear traffic to be able to decipher it slamming on brakes in a different car if I couldn't hear that and I didn't stop in time I crash into him
PsychoPrincess 8 years ago
So I get done voted for asking a curious question next time you get into a car put in earplugs when you drive and tell me it doesn't scare the c**p out of you I don't even walk down the street listening to music cuz I feel like my senses are being taken away I am going to be unsafe

"Smooth", yes, but also qualifies as harassment. Quite unprofessional.

CelSlade 8 years ago
This might not be harassment, as such, but it is still unacceptable. In a professional setting of any type this is not welcome. I have a food delivery driver that compliments my hair and eyes and tells me how pretty I am every time he sees me. It isn't welcome, especially as I know he is married. But I have to see this guy every week and god knows what he'll do to my groceries if I tell him to stop/make a complaint? Or to me. He knows where I live. And that is the thing guys don't get. The moment you know a woman's address you become a potential threat to her. This is not cute or smooth or sweet. It is unwelcome and uncomfortable.

My Uber driver returned to my apartment the next night around midnight, with flowers. He banged on my door, waking me, my roommates and and my neighbors up.

As an uber driver we do what we can to make the rider feel special we offer water ,tissue, candy etc the rating is awful for a driver we are not in competition on our ratings we are in fear of making a rider mad that they give us lower than a 5 because the more riders that give us less than a five our rate goes down and we loose our jobs. So we think of creative ways to make the rider happy as this is not always easy to do. I say if you got to point a-b safe and your driver was nice give them that 5 .

Ueber ratings are ultra competetive. If a drivers rating is below 4,7 stars, passengers might cancel their drive on a whim without refund. If a drivers rating falls below 4,6, they might get a probiation. If it falls consistenly below the average regional stars, drivers might loose their job.

I had two freaking Uber experiences on my first week. First the driver snoozed out in the middle of the highway going to the airport. Second the driver saw we were tourists and did a huge detour. We paid 4x more and the journey took almost 1 and a 1/2 hours instead of 20 or 30 minutes. Me and my mom were creeped out, to make it worse my battery was dying, even faster than usual as I had uber, Waze and google maps open, WhatsApp with 2 groups of friends and with an uncle whose brother is an Uber driver (was trying to find costumer service number here in Brazil as I was desperate, we didn't know what he planned to do). To make it worse, when he was gonna drop us at the shopping mall, instead of going to the main entrance, he got to a terribly dark and narrow worse-than-backroad. He even tried tricking us to pay twice (was on credit card and he wanted us to pay cash). I filed a report on a popular costumer complaints website, Uber never replied but at least refunded part of my money.
