Oh... I thought a Uber driver had stabbed someone... Either way... just another day.

Reminds me of a rash of incidents in the southern U.S. a few years back, where people sleeping in the road were run over by cars. I wonder what makes pavement an attractive place to sleep.

When I’m drunk and waiting on an Uber, I prefer to pass out in the yard or on the porch. Less likely to be speed-bumped by your ride.

Feel sorry for the Uber driver, from the article it seems there was no way to spot sleeping beauty, yet he or she will still probably carry a pretty decent burden of guilt around from this.

Click baity headline. It should say “man falls asleep on driveway, gets killed by totally innocent Uber driver doing his job”

You know it’s definitely one of those things where they’ll be saying to themselves “I shouldn’t have pulled into the drive so fast” instead of “he shouldn’t have been sleeping where cars parks”.

“...when they’ve entered the driveway they haven’t been able to see him because of the camber and the slope of the driveway...”

I was having a hard time visualizing that, but now that I think about it, I wonder if it was one of those driveways where you pull in from the road and have to go UP to the sidewalk, then DOWN steeply towards the garage. I HATE driveways like that.

I live in the Blue Ridge mountain area, and we have a bunch of driveways/intersections that are completely blind. Nearly pulled out in front of my neighbor years ago, I was at an uphill stop turning left onto a downhill, and he was coming up the road I was turning onto. Couldn’t see him, he was below the crest where my intersection was, but I heard the bike (loud pipes save lives). If he’d been in a Prius, I probably would’ve been clobbered in the driver’s side.

Wow. I’m surprised that hasn’t been made into a 4-way stop (or maybe some yield signs) yet.

There’s an intersection a few miles from me, where a paved road and a dirt one meet. Naturally, the paved road has a lot more traffic, and only the dirt-road traffic has to stop. But the paved road has a hill just before the intersection...

So if you’re on the dirt road, and you come to the stop sign, you have to jump out when it’s clear and hope that no one crests the hill at 55mph in the next few seconds. Problem is, there’s rocks scattered all over the transition and they act like ball bearings so you can’t accelerate very quickly until you get better traction.

They have lowered the section with the hill from 55mph to 45mph (white signage, not yellow), but it really doesn’t help much.

Not really. You are implying that the Uber driver murdered someone with that headline. All click bait headlines are “factual” by literal interpretation. But they’re also pathetic, shameless attempts to get more views by distorting truth.
