Pulled over by a cop while Ubering

My god-daughter, Prudence became an Uber driver today.  We drove out to Anaheim where they had a Saturday inspection post for her car.  It was not organized!! The people at the table were amazing and efficient, but the inspectors were not paying attention to the order people were coming in.  They finally had us re-line up and took us from there.  There was a girl who was thourough and paying attention and a guy that seemed to do o.k.  But one of the inspectors was more interested in his cell phone than in doing his job.  But after an hour, Pru's car passed with flying colors!  She made her first outing tonight and even took a fare to LAX!  She is close to that $100 bonus for 10 rides and then she'll get her $150 after 20.

One of my fares tonight pinned their location as being in a parking lot at the VA hospital where only government employees are supposed to be.  They were actually next door at a concert at Cal State Long Beach.  So when I realize that I'm not where they are, I pull over and call them to see where they really are.  That's when the cop pulls up behind me.  I explain to the fare that I will be there as soon as the cop is done with me.  He ran my plates (about 3 minutes).  Then came and asked me what I was doing on government property.  I explained that Waze had routed me to the wrong pick up location and I was trying to reach the person I was picking up. He asked for my I.D., which I gave him.  He ran that, came back and told me there have been a lot of car break ins and that since I was stopped, he was suspicious.  He then told me how to get back to the road.  I called my fare to see exactly where they were.  Picked them up.  They felt so bad for giving me the wrong location they tipped me $10.

All in an Uber days work.  Still having fun!!!!
