Female vs. Male Driving Instructor: Whom Should You Choose?
To be honest, if you want to experience a bigger sense of personal freedom, driving lessons can be a sensible investment.

But in order to pass your driving test with flying colours, you need to make sure to choose an appropriate driving school and hire an efficient driving instructor.

Top 10 Unpleasant Things Uber and Lyft Riders Do When Using the Service
So we’ve all heard different, weird, and all kinds of crazy Uber and Lyft stories from both drivers and riders. While the service is very affordable, and convenient compared to the traditional taxi service, it’s absolutely unbelievable how there could be so much drama involving riders and drivers that you never think would happen to taxi drivers. In addition, with all the political and financial news going on with both services going public in the stock market, it seems that every day something new is happening in the world of ridesharing. Having friends who drive for both Lyft and Uber, I have had heard their fair share of crazy Uber and Lyft experiences, and the obnoxious riders they had to deal with. Unlike some of those riders, when I myself use the service, I just get in, play games on my phone, put on my headphones to listen to my music, get to my destination, and call it a day. If the driver opens up a conversation, I have no problem engaging in a friendly chat. Also, I pay attention to where I’m going in case the driver may make a wrong turn somewhere if they are not familiar with the area. Today I’m going to go over some of the most annoying, but yet very common things riders do when they’re using the service based on the stories I have been told. These acts tend to cost riders money, time, and a very bad rating which in return, will not work in their favor since some drivers do not pick up riders with certain ratings in order to avoid a negative experience.
