Reporter Shannon Roy found out that she had to be a distracted driver in order to be a Uber driver.

Reporter Shannon Roy drove for Uber and found out that she had to be a distracted driver in order to be a Uber driver. Updated 5/19/15: Shannon Roy posted an article about driving for Uber by Emily Guendelsberger. My bad.

I'd bet you a dollar Josh Mohrer has the answer to Streets Blog's question.

I've been shouting about this for years. I begged that a real journalist check out the driver apps. Unfortunately what should be considered her important finding is being ignored.

That's criminal!
Streets blog New York asked City Council Transportation Committee Chairman Ydanis Rodriguez if Wesley Mensing was the first New York City pedestrian to be killed by an app distracted Uber driver. We all know that injury and death caused by motorists are not often truly investigated by NYPD. It is a legitimate question: How many people have been hit by distracted Uber drivers in New York City?How many were killed? Most likely Uber New York manager Josh Mohrer has the data.
