I had a Lyft ride today where the driver had a check engine light on, ran 3 stop signs at full speed, and had their high beams on the entire time. I tipped him well.

My quandary is should I report this person as a terrible driver, or give them a pass because we're all struggling to make the ends meet? This was in a pretty dense neighborhood.

Hold on. They flagrantly endanger the passenger's life (not to mention others) multiple times and should expect a tip?

The business model incentivizes it by not paying a wage. This is an example offer:

This isn't even the worst one I've seen today, and I only do this part time for extra money.

By all means, report safety issues. Get the bad driver canned. But if you stiff the driver too, and you knew the business model of the service you used, then you're just further incentivizing the bad behavior.
