I have been in a lot of limos(town cars) in the last twenty years. Typically to just going to and from airports. Almost in all cases the person driving the car has been doing it for a “few” weeks. This is invariably a job people take when they lose their regular job and have not found another steady one yet. The turnover rate of drivers is incredibly high.
I have been in a car when I purposely kept talking to the driver because I knew they were falling asleep. Would you want a job where you had to get up at 3am to take someone to the airport one day and then the next day you are up until 3am picking someone up at the airport and driving them home?
Second jobs are tough. And, I’m not surprised that some—perhaps many—limo drivers are doing it as a second job.
But, come on... this guy had 9 speeding tickets...
A lot of those taxi drivers in New York city work “double shifts” meaning 24 hours, it’s “illegal” on the books but the industry is so corrupt the higher ups look the other way. It’s a scam two ways: The owners rip off the drivers and the city rips off the drivers with massive tickets so the driver ends up working double shifts to pay for all this. When I drove they would throw tickets at me for even picking up and dropping off people. The city doesn’t care because they got 1000 other immigrants to replace those drivers once they tap out. Like this driver who crashed, I think they mention his license was suspended because of tickets. So in other words he had so many tickets he couldn’t afford to pay them so what happens? He works double shifts and falls asleep while driving. I freakin’ hate that city with all my guts, I moved 2 years ago best thing I ever did. That city is the epitome of liberalism run amok
