Phoenix wants these crazy fools driving you home...

"The Michigan Uber driver accused of gunned down strangers between rides rambled incoherently in court Friday, prompting one of his victims to break down into a crying jag on the stand.

Jason Dalton - charged in the February shooting spree that left six people dead and two more injured — interrupted survivor Tiana Carruthers’ testimony to go on a bizarre rant about “black bags” and “temple.”

I live in the Atlanta area. I take Uber and Lyft all the time. Never had a problem.

True. I don't like the regular taxi drivers. Unreliable, dirty, rickety in some cases. Uber and Lyft drivers have offered me quicker, cheaper, and friendlier service.

How many Taxi Drivers have committed crime after they were vetted? I'm sure we can google more than one instance.

If you don't like those companies then do not use their services.
