That doesn't address drivers signing on when they know they won't get any rides then just sitting in their drive way.

So this a super hot take, but someone is asking for an ass whooping. This is basically an act of war. I'm going to just leave it at that. This isn't some random hack, kinetic attack demands kinetic response.
