Uber Driver, RZA - I've requested Uber ride at around 7:50am at the LA port on 10/31/2025. The Uber app says the driver will pick me up at 8:04am and guarantees a wait time of no more than 5 minutes. I kept checking to app to make sure. First, it says the driver will arrive in 7 minutes and then 10 minutes. Comes 8:10am and no driver. I checked my Uber app to see what is going on, and it seems like the app was being updated; the screen does not have all the information like before.
Then my phone rang, and the 1st driver, who is now late, is here. I got into his car. He drove out of the parking lot and pulled over. He said the ride is canceled. I said What do you mean, canceled? He said, "No problem, you just pay me directly via Zelle, Vemo, or Credit Card." I said no, I would like to use the Uber app for my ride. He said, "You will have to request a new ride, and you will have to wait longer." I said, that is fine, just take me back to where I was waiting for the ride before." The driver, RZA said "I will give you a receipt, you just pay me directly." I continue to say no. The driver said then "I drop you off here" which was at the side of a traffic road. I said, "no, you take me back to where I was waiting for a ride." Driver RZA said, I will have to go around 2 miles to get back to the place you are waiting. I said "why? You just make a left at the front stop sign." I live in California most of my life. I know LA and I've driven myself to the LA port before. He was trying to lie to me. He refuse to take me back to where I was previously waiting for a ride. He opened his mini van trunk, took my luggage out. He forced me out of his car.
I told him I will report him. I said that is fine. I went in front of his car to take a photo of his license plate and him. He used his car to hit me, so I couldn't capture his license plate. The first time, he hit my knees. I tried to move to capture his license plate again and AGAIN, he used his car to hit me the 2nd time, harder. He drove away with his trunk still open. I was able to capture a close-up of his car license plate. This photo was captured right before he used his car to physically hit me.
I had to carry my heavy luggage while walking back to where I was waiting for an Uber ride. I saw a police car there and told him what happened. He provided me with some good information. He also told me about a few "very bad" stories about Uber drivers.
No only did this person tried to use Uber name for his own financial earnings to cut out Uber portion of earnings by knowing to deliberately be late for 6-7 minutes, worst yet, he is physically dangerous! The Uber app would assign another driver. Now, there is no recording of me as a customer so the driver, RZA will not have to share the earnings with Uber. The criminal action of this driver to physically harm a person by deliberately using his car to hit me TWICE! This person should be jailed and heavily fined for his actions! read more
