I am still unable to drive for Uber since
The accident on 03/2/2023. Tomorrow is the last day from the Rental car for me the plan is to drop off the Rental @Maher collision center
and pick up the courtesy loaner I will have until 05/11/2023. I found and purchased a new screen for my Bile plus it was $117.00 shipped that new ones on there for like $210.00 shipped. I don’t have new kind of money. So that will arrive sometime Monday and I will install (I have all ready watch a video on it) it’s two 4 MM screws, shouldn’t be too bad.
I am still not able to drive for Uber since the car accident on 03/25/2023. I got on the Peloton to ride it the other day and the screen (they call it the tablet) just kept prompting for an update so I would do it. It has done that before so I didn’t think anything of it, just ride for 20 minutes anyway and then get off. This time though it was not prompting me to log in it just kept looping after it would download and then install that update and reboot over and over again. So I chatted in to support and we did about 15 minutes of troubleshooting and then he told me, since I am out of warranty, it is going to run me $650.00 plus tax because I need a new screen. I was like no let’s try something else lol. So my Peloton is down and it is driving me crazy, I love to hate that thing. I got an email from Maher today that the wrong part was sent for my car, so Ruby won’t be ready until 05/11/2023, but the last I am working with at Maher said she reserved a courtesy vehicle for me to drive after this Friday. So that was cool of her, and Maher collision to do that. So on top of the precision work that they do there, there also good people and they help when they can. Usually they are really fast. I understand that sooner or later something happens that is out of our control. I am just fortunate that a car was reserved for me!
I just got off the phone with my P.I. lawyer.
He told me that I have no UM coverage on this case.
I do have UM coverage thru Progressive personally but it only covers
me while I am on my way to pick up a passenger. Once they get in my
car, there is no UM coverage. Meanwhile, I have been going through
treatment related to this accident, and since this accident,
I have also been unable to work because of my injuries and
the damage done to my car in this accident. If you look at the actual police report
it says on there that the person that hit me has no auto coverage.
She said at the scene that she did have insurance but her phone screen was broken
so no one could verify that she did have coverage. She did not get cited for anything.
They put her in the number 1 spot on their report so if she did not get in any trouble,
that is fine by me. It turns out that she does have coverage through The General Insurance.
The General Insurance only sells the absolute minimum coverage possible. So the only coverage
she has will pay for her Personal Injury Protection and my deductible. I have Uber driver insurance that
pays for my medical bills only (my saving grace) it does not provide any type
of pain and suffering payment, so my P.I. Attorney said he is closing my file lol.
The Uber Auto insurance now is also the absolute minimum that they require in Florida by law.
They do provide (Uber insurance) 5K for the driver’s medical expenses.
So because I don’t have the money for a $2500.00 deductible, I opted to get everything
done through my own personal policy that has a $1000.00 deductible. Because of that
I don’t have any PIP insurance either. The only insurance that I have personally here
is the Uber driver insurance and they subtract like 4 cents per mile that I drive
and it only covers me as the driver when I am online via the Uber platform.
If I did not have that coverage, I would only have the $5000.00 to pay for my medical bills. I was rear-ended by a passenger in the car in 2019 and Uber had $250,000.00 of UM coverage
and a $1000.00 deductible. Now they have this huge $2500.00 deductible and no UM coverage at all.
So if a driver gets in an accident, there is no coverage for the driver. The passengers are
covered for up to 1 million in expenses, the driver though is not covered at all.
I am still unable to drive for Uber since the 03/25/2023 accident. I sent an email last night
to the collision center that is repairing Ruby/my car advising that a good pickup time for me
would be around 1pm tomorrow. I got a reply that my car probably won’t be ready until 05/06/2023.
I contacted my adjuster with Progressive and I was told that the last day Progressive is paying for the rental
is 05/05/2023. I sent an email again to the collision center and I was advised that my car will probably be ready
by then, so fingers crossed lol. I am so ready to get back on the road with Uber. This is the longest I have gone
not driving for Uber by far! This is my jam of the month. I have been listening to that over and over again throughout April. That song is called “Dive” by Luke Combs FT. Ed Sheeran. They collaborated and created this song which I think is awesome.
I really like Luke and Ed both. I had no idea they were friends. Anyway, they both have a version of this song. This is
the Luke Combs version.
I am still unable to drive for Uber because of the accident on 03/25/2023. Today is Sunday which for the past 5 years has been a real good driving day almost always. I get Ruby/my car back Tuesday 05/02/2023. I will finish that Tuesday and I will take pictures of all 4 sides Tuesday afternoon and be back driving for dollars on Wednesday 05/03/2023 and this coming Friday will be an oil change Friday. It sure is a good thing that the entire world and all the incoming bills stop in the event of an accident! Eye-roll.
I am still unable to drive since I was in a car accident on 03/25/2023. I stuffed and mailed another 60 envelopes today. I have been trying to hold off on processing any more envelopes because after I send them, I may need to make a change. It was either process more envelopes or
read something so I processed and mailed another 60 envelopes, I applied the stamps on them manually which should help with the open rate. Today makes 180 total envelopes sent.
Out of a total of 258, I expect about 10% to
bounce back as undeliverable. Hopefully 1% will convert and the rest will prolly end up in the trash can. But, you never know.
I am still unable to earn/drive for Uber since the 03/25/2023 accident. Today is the 29th and there is 31 days in March but only 30 in April so far it has been like 35 days since I was able to drive for Uber. I am so glad that the entire world comes to a screeching halt when that accident happened. Because if all them bills just keep coming while I can’t work that would suck!
I forgot to blog last night it seems.
So here is the post I should have done yesterday. I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident on 03/25/2023. I think I saw yesterday that Ruby will be ready for pickup and will be completely repaired on 05/02/2023 which is cool because my rental car coverage runs out the next day. I went to an appointment in Pinellas today and as usual, I drove the gas guzzler. Every time I drive that thing, I have to put a $20.00 in the tank. That car is expensive to drive. Today it said on the highway it was getting 23.1 MPG. To a lot of folx that is considered pretty good gas mileage. I think that gas mileage is horrible! If Ruby got gas mileage like that, I would definitely think there was something wrong.

the car accident that happened on 03/25/2023
Maher collision said they would be done with
my car repair on 05/03/2023. Then they sent an update today and said my car will be finished on 05/02/2023 which would be cool. I have been home since 03/25/2023. I haven’t put any fuel in Ruby since the morning of 03/25/2023 and I went grocery shopping in her twice, went to Palm Harbor then dropped her off at Maher collision in St. Petersburg and I will pick her up next Tuesday and she will still have like 200 more miles to go probably. That mustang I have for a rental is a gas guzzler. I wanted the smallest 4 door they had and I got this
thing instead. It has apple car play which is
pretty cool. I like apple car play a whole lot!
I sent out 60 letters today for The One in Downtown St Petersburg Florida. There is a total of 253 units in that building in total. So I have like 200 letters to go. I am using my Pony Stamps to send them. “Scared money can’t make no money.” lol. No money can’t be scared so here we go! I sure hope this works!
I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident on 03/25/2023. Today is the 23rd of the month, I weigh myself every /3rd of the month that was exactly 1 month after my Peloton was fixed. Anyway, I think in November I weighed myself and I saw that I was over 250LBS so I stopped getting rise in me bowl at Chipotle (and I love rice) I started doing a lot of things differently and I lost over 10 lbs in a month. Today I weighed myself and I am 264.2 lbs! I was like huh? That is with me riding the Peloton twice a day too. I have been eating Ice cream and all kids of junk food and sitting around and now I am fat!
