A new ride share driver office opened in Park Ridge, IL as Lyft and Uber drivers have been facing crime and carjacking in the Chicago area.
PARK RIDGE, Ill. -- The Illinois Independent Drivers Guild opened a new Chicago area office for rideshare drivers across the state.
The increased violence toward rideshare drivers and the dangers of the job, advocates said, are being felt among Illinois drivers. "The woman sprayed me with pepper spray and told me to get out of the car," Baker said."I'm standing on the side walk and the pepper spray hurting like hell. Oh, my gosh, they got my car. But I'm alive.""It drives me crazy because I also had someone pull out a firearm on me and everything. I'm one of the lucky ones," Sanchez said.
To improve safety, Sanchez said he wants riders to have to submit a selfie. The photo would not be shared with the driver, but with the app in case of a crime, so they can later be used as evidence.
