The Phantom Responds to Lyft's Whining About having to Inspect Their Vehicles Like Everyone Else Does

REPLY COMMENTS OF ED HEALY RE: COMMENTS OF LYFT, INC. RE: PROPOSED DECISION ON PHASE II ISSUES & RESERVING ADDITIONAL ISSUES FOR RESOLUTION IN PHASE III




2. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS


LYFT STATES,

“…Lyft is not aware of any evidence in the record indicating that vehicles used by Lyft drivers which are predominantly used for non-commercial purposes present any greater risk of equipment failure than other personal vehicles with which TNCs share the road, which are not subject to any inspection requirements under California law.


My Reply,

The argument is beside the point. The mere fact that the vehicle is transporting people presents a greater risk to them thus making the inspections necessary.
