I get e-mails all the time from drivers who get into accidents while driving for Uber and Lyft and have no idea what to do. Unfortunately, accidents do happen and instead of waiting until it’s too late, I can’t stress how important it is to take a proactive approach and figure out what you need to know ahead of time.
As with many things in life, it isn’t a matter of “if” but a matter of “when”. When the time comes and you have an accident while rideshare driving, you will want to be prepared. You can ignore the risk and pretend that you’re the best driver on the road, but at the end of the day, the more you drive, the more likely it is that you will get into an accident.

Is it still worth it to drive for DoorDash in 2019? Senior RSG contributor and Dasher pro Dash Bridges shares his DoorDash driver review of how DoorDashing has changed over the years, and what you can expect as a Dasher in 2019.
I started Dashing in September, 2015. Do you realize how long ago that was? Our country was immersed in ‘Straight Outta _____’ memes. Kids demanded us to watch them both whip and Nae Nae. Alabama sat at #2 in the college football AP Poll after an upset loss in a bowl game. Oh well, not everything changes.
Regardless, I’m now in the cagey old veteran stage of my dashing career. I’ve been working for DoorDash for 3 ½ years, which is more than half of its existence. As of this writing, I’ve completed 4035 deliveries in 705 dashes (shifts).
In the past, I’ve written about the differences between dashing now vs. dashing then. So to add a fresh wrinkle to the subject, let’s break up my DoorDash driver review into 1000-delivery periods and compare the numbers. There are a few trends to discuss.
