I believe their was adequate ADA parking, however we needed more ADA decals verifying that placards and registration was checked. In addition toll booths did miss verifying some patrons placards & registration and the patron didn't receive a decal. Numerous times working in Lot 7 & 8 campgrounds I noticed the patrons didn't have the decal and asked them if anyone verified their information and they stated no and explained why it needed to be verified and the patrons were more than happy to let me verify their information and had to go grab decals to give to the patron. I recommend for toll booths that there should be separate ADA only lanes that specialize in verifying the patrons…
The fact is that drunk riders can get sick in your vehicle. Watch the situation and if you think they are feeling sick, give them water and a vomit bag. If it nevertheless happens, finish the ride, turn off drive mode, drive somewhere where you can safely stop and take several photos of the damage before you clean it up and destroy the evidence. Uber will reimburse for the cleanup, but you have to give them evidence of what happened. If you go ahead and clean up before taking pictures, there’ll probably be not much damage to see.…

th) “ As of September 2010, 30 states as well Washington, D.C., have passed laws prohibiting text messaging for all drivers. An additional eight states bas so-called novice drivers from texting while driving. (The definition of “novice drivers” differs by state; in Mississippi, for example, it refers to drivers who have their learner’s permit or provisional license, while in Missouri a novice driver is anyone aged 21 and younger.) Two of the eight states that restrict texting for novice drivers--Oklahoma and Texas--also prohibit school bus drivers from texting while driving is considered to be a primary offense, meaning that police officers can pull over drivers if they catch them in the act of texting. In Iowa, Nebraska, New York and Virginia,…
In the article, A Comparison of the Cell Phone Driver and the Drunk Driver, researchers are attempting to find a causal link between using cell phone use and impaired driving. They do this by testing if the the condition of the driver affects driving performance. The condition of the driver is there independent variable. Researcher’s operationalized the independent variable by creating a control, distracting participants by talking to them on a cell phone and giving the participants alcohol to drink so they could under the influence of alcohol (p. 382). To test the hypothesis, participants carried on a casual conversation with a research assistant that was engaging and unique to the participant to measure the effects of cell phone distraction…

In Queensland, current driving regulations ban the use of hand-held mobile phones, but permit the use of hands-free devices. Such distinction reflects an obvious belief that the impairment to safe-driving ability that occurs when using a hand-held device is caused solely by the distraction of the associated motor and visual demands. It is not disputed that sustained driver attention is critical to safe driving (Leung, Croft, Jackson, Howard, & McKenzie, 2012), and there is compelling evidence to support the extremely degrading effects on driving caused by the distraction of conversing on a hand-held device (Strayer, Drews, and Crouch, 2006) and texting (Leung et al, 2012). However, there is equally compelling evidence to support that conversing on a hands-free device equally degrades safe-driving ability and increases the risk of collision (Strayer et al, 2006). Not all phone conversations are…
