re: Baton Rouge Uber drivers to strike Friday before Mardi Gras

Well ya because BR doesn't have the big events but Halloween and NYE have to be huge. Another thing is that in BR drinking and driving isn't demonized like it is in the Phoenix Metro area. It's looked down upon here by the public and the laws back that up. You get 10 days in jail for your first DUI and I think it's either 2-3 months for your second. Also, you get the 2-3 months for your first if you are over .15 .Needless to say people don't drink and drive and that is huge for Uber.
