The "Do Not Ride With List"

You guys are again ranting on this forum when the purpose of this forum is to inform other slugs/drivers about the "DO NOT RIDE LIST". If you want to rant and rave, start another forum (it's quite easy to do) and do your ranting there. The sole purpose of this one is to warn people about unsafe/unsanitary conditions. There is nothing wrong with posting as much information about an unsafe driver because that is the only way the other slugs will know who to steer clear of. KNLNGUS, you stated that if you have an unsafe or uncomfortable ride home that you make a mental note of it and don't ride with that person again. Don't you think that if someone is an unsafe driver that others should benefit from that knowledge, not just yourself? Had you known about that particular driver due to this forum, you maybe wouldn't have ridden with them in the first place? Don't forget that we are a team and we need to look out for one another and not just be selfish and only think about yourself!! Now let's move this conversation to another thread and stick to the "DO NOT RIDE LIST" (and yes, please include the plate numbers whenever possible).

[br]Hello - I'm a new slug and new to this page so bear with me. Thanks for sharing this information. I do think it is wise to post the "do not ride" cars, tag numbers, details etc. I slug from Horner to 14th & Penn and have met nothing but the best drivers and travelled in overall, very safe, well maintained vehiclesx. Slugging home is the same. Stay safe and whereever Uhura is, I'm a Kirkbabe too! MK

I am suggesting starting a listing of those drivers. It would be up to each individual slug whether they want to chance the ride or not. And, what may be offensive to one slug might not be offensive to another. I, myself, can tolerate a free ride, so if these people made it onto my list, then they must be really, really BAD. Additionally, if you choose to add to the list, please put which lot they primarily pick up from.

Rear door behind the driver does not work at all. She has to let you out. Baby seat on the other side so the option of sitting on the other side is not there. [Rte. 610]

KNLNGUS,

Personally, I’m not sure where I stand on posting plates on the site. I know that I think it's a waste because who is going to memorize them?

As for the cost, I was referring to the total cost, not just financial. It's not just a simple as you state. Slugs at Horner: Fight for parking, walk and stand on line in the rain/snow, leave vehicle in an unsecured lot that has had multiple break-ins, and then conform to the driver’s likes and dislikes. And no, I don't mind because I enjoy the benefits of slugging. But, it AIN'T free. And yes, I also drive and know the negatives of that endeavor also.


Cheers,

Glacier

I generally don't agree with the "Do Not Ride" list. It is subject to abuse, and the information stays on the website forever, even if the driver changes. Let's face it. Everyone has had some bad experiences. It is up to each of us to avoid those cars. If there is a severe problem, that is a different story.
