Before thinking about driving while impaired here in Jersey, you should know that the difference between calling an Uber and getting a DUI charge is over $33k!
Once passengers enter a vehicle for their trip, it's the rideshare's insurance that covers everyone in the car, something New Jersey has been mandating even before it became the national standard.
Beginning one week after the remnants of Hurricane Ida hit New Jersey, the state said it has provided 2,400 free or discounted Uber or Lyft rides to date.
Residents across New Jersey are still wrapping their heads around the damage done by Tropical storm Ida, and if there's a resource to help you though this tough time I want you to know about it. Uber and Lyft are partnering with our state to get you where you are going at no charge.
There might not be actual Checkpoints (but more than likely there will be), as officials are calling the extra police presence this Saturday "Traffic Enforcement Detail" between 3 pm and 11 pm.
Police in Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, Lavallette, and Point Pleasant Beach will have extra patrols on the road looking for signs of impaired and erratic driving...
You've probably had some strange Uber encounters in the past but nothing compares to this real life Grand Theft Auto auto experience this couple had.
