We got you. We explain what you can do about getting an Uber or Lyft traffic ticket on the job and how to dismiss it for the least amount of money!

What is an occupational hazard

An ‘occupational hazard’ can be defined as an ‘occupational risk accepted as a consequence of a particular occupation’. Driving around town and getting to meet new people as a rideshare driver might be considered one of the ‘perks of the job’ but, getting a traffic ticket while driving for Uber or Lyft could be considered an occupational hazard.

No one enjoys getting a traffic ticket. In short, it can be a real buzzkill, especially when you have so many other bills to pay already. What’s even worse is when your livelihood depends on that job. Being a rideshare driver means walking a tightrope where if you fall off in any way at all – speeding too much (20mph over the speed limit) or excessive traffic violations – it’s on you. Now that’s a scary occupational hazard.

Getting a ticket while driving for uber and lyft

If you receive an Uber or Lyft traffic ticket, the responsibility is on you. How you choose to dismiss or pay for the ticket, is also, on you. But, did you know, tickets do not have to be paid for in full. Comedy Defensive Driving is here to help as one of the most practical ways to get your traffic ticket expunged. This removes it from your driving record and lowers the cost of your ticket. Sound to good to  be true? It is isn’t, let us explain.

Traffic departments want better drivers driving more defensively. Duh! Therefore, they incentivize traffic offenders to take part in a comprehensive defensive driving course. By taking a course like comedy defensive driving, you squash points off of your driving record. Think of this as ‘traffic school rehabilitation’. When you pass your defensive driving course, you get your Uber or Lyft traffic ticket removed. Voila! Now you’ve saved money and your driving record.

Companies like Uber and Lyft are notoriously strict with regards to requiring drivers to have a squeaky clean track record. This is because the power of these technology-driven ridesharing companies is that they lay the responsibility of driving at the feet of the driver behind the wheel. Meaning, they want the safest drivers possible! The cleaner your record, the more likely you are to be hired.

Don’t have a traffic ticket on your driving record but still want to save money AND look good to these companies? Taking a defensive driving course doesn’t just dismiss a ticket. It also, looks great on a resume! On top of that, you can lower your insurance cost! 2 for 1!

New Jersey’s Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction ACT or The AICRA

In 1998 the Garden State put the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act or for short the AICRA in to place to control the rising cost of auto insurance.  This legislation required that New Jersey auto insurance rates be reduced by approximately $700 million or an overall 15%. On top of reducing cost this act allowed people to have more choices in coverage options, standard or basic policy, and it allowed you to better control your own cost. You can control your current insurance rate by doing any of the following:

• Raise your deductibles. To lower your insurance rate, set your deductible higher.
• Change your PIP benefit options. You can change your auto insurance coverage depending on your health insurance coverage. If your health insurance offers primary coverage for auto accidents injuries you can choose to have them be the primary payer for auto related accidents.
• Limitation on Lawsuit option. Selecting this option can allow you to save up to 75% on bodily injury and property damage liability coverage.
• Take a state approved defensive driving course. Those who complete a defensive driving course may receive discounts on their auto insurance by reducing the points on their driving record
• Buy a safe car and drive safely. The most obvious way to lower cost and also, the safest! Remember to drive safely and always make sure  your car is up to date.
