I think that the part about your father is an unfortunate event that ended well. Therefore, with all due respect, I don't think that's a story. On the other hand, the media is frothy about Uber, and when the media covets a subject, editorial discretion often changes a little. Consequently, you might have a story about Uber drivers driving around with suspended licenses. If you found a few journalists with a history of being hypercritical of Uber, you could pitch a pretty solid "what if" story. For example, how do cab companies deal with suspended licenses? Do they have a greater (or lesser) burden to keep their drivers properly licensed? Or, what happens if an Uber driver with a suspended license causes an accident that leads to injuries? Where is liability? What is an injured party to do? Is there any way that the Uber passenger could have liability? The short answer is: If you really want to publicize this you likely can because the media is frothy about Uber now. If an Uber executive had bad gas, you could find a reporter who would salivate for the coverage. To publicize it: 1.) Zero in on a good story. The media does not want to be your personal hit squad. 2.) Research two or three reporters with a history of negative coverage about Uber. 3.) Write a personalized pitch to each reporter. Reference past articles that he/she has written. Don't use the word exclusive unless you know what that means. (Hint - if you send a pitch to three journalists, it isn't exclusive.) 4.) Be prepared for this to get way the fuck out of control.
