   Something Drastic: Part One (Trailer)

   On this week's upcoming show, "Something Drastic, Part One", we're going to dive into just a few of one of the more drastic things rideshare drivers have to deal with ... and those are "kickouts", or when things get so bad that passengers are asked to leave the car entirely. In the world of overnight driving, kickouts aren't exactly common, but they're not super rare, either. And while some aren't eventful at all, sometimes passengers aren't exactly happy with the boundary. Today, we'll look at a ride while driving in Phoenix that took a turn when a passenger threatened to attack me from the back seat for not letting her have her beer, a passenger and her boyfriend who made up a story after getting kicked out for being rude, and a drunk guy also mad about not bringing his drink with him, who had a strange obsession with bottles and butts ... this is Driving After Dark.
