I agree with this, but Ruggs was driving an ultra expensive car at an unlawful and unsafe speed in addition to being intoxicated...that goes beyond what uber and lyft can prevent.  Ruggs is 22 so he isn't exactly a kid, but I remember when I was a teenager and dudes I knew and even one of my friends who lived to be a reasonable adult would just drive like absolute maniacs and think nothing of it.  There is just something in some people that turns off that logic center in their brain, because where I came from driving and crashing and dying was oddly common.

I guess what I'm saying is that uber probably isn't going to prevent stuff like this because it isn't about getting from point A to point B, it's about showing off how awesome and daring you are.  At least that is my take.  This wasn't a routine crash, and it wasn't even routine as far as DUIs go.


Looking at the damage to Ruggs' corvette, I'm amazed he isn't dead.  His car is shredded, and the SUV of the victim burst into flames.
