Some of the debates include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are ridesharing drivers independent contractors or employees?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are ridesharing drivers obligated to workers\u2019 compensation insurance?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are ridesharing drivers commercial drivers or private citizens?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The state of California has taken action on one of these core issues. A new DUI law for Uber and Lyft drivers will take effect on July 1, 2018. Here\u2019s why you may need to contact a DUI ticket attorney soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Stricter Limit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>California\u2019s new law, Assembly Bill 2687, holds rideshare service drivers to the same standard as other commercial drivers. It is now illegal for Uber and Lyft motorists to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level higher than 0.04. This is half the BAC limit for private citizens. If you have even the smallest amount of alcohol then transport a customer, you may end up in handcuffs and in need of a traffic ticket cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When Your Car Is a Commercial Vehicle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the law was passed, lawmakers struggled to define ridesharing cars as commercial vehicles. This is because many rideshare drivers use their own personal, family cars. The California Assembly determined that a car becomes commercial whenever a paying passenger is in the car. Whenever you have a customer in your car, the limit becomes 0.04. This makes it more likely that you\u2019ll need a DUI ticket fix in the near future. Just click \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/ticketclinic.com\/es\/location\/\">The Ticket Clinic near me<\/a>\u201d to find the nearest DUI attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be frustrating for you to learn.
