Gee I wonder why he did not want her in his car?
Just be glad that she is somewhat dressed and not in a thong! Wonder what type of car the guy was driving.Why am I not surprised that this was a @RickN thread

Good point!!!Just be glad that she is somewhat dressed and not in a thong! Wonder what type of car the guy was driving.
It's one thing to fit on a bike, and another to fit through the door and be seated. Saw a photo of her sitting in the rear of an SUV, she took up 75% of the back of it with the hatchback up. I honestly think she would have had a lot of trouble fitting in the back seat through the doors of a small car like a Camry or Small SUV. Remember as well GVWR Ratings. a 2017 Escape GVWR is 4520 lbs to 4760 lbs, the vehicle weighs 3,502 lbs to 3645 lbs, meaning depending on engine and trim, could hold 1,018 lbs to 1,115 lbs of passenger and cargo. If she had a friend or two with her, the car with driver could easily be overloaded including the weight of the driver. Even worse if the weight bias was on one side of the car, handling could be adversely effected. This was a safety issue for the driver. The driver may have very well been in the right just through observations and knowing the specifications of his/her vehicle. BTW, Ford was sued after a woman sued because she was overweight and could not buy a vehicle that had automatic seatbelts. I believe she lost.While I agree the chic needs to lose a lot of weight, what the h8ll kind of car is the Lyft driver driving that couldn't handle the weight. I mean, she's still mobile, so she's obviously not 1000+ lbs or anything. If this bike can handle this dude, the car should be fine. I can understand her anger toward the driver and I agree that he's being discriminating and should be fired from Lyft.

By the way, my point is not meant to be mean (although yes my previous comment was. We do have an issue with weight in the US. Unfortunately airplane seats, bus seats and vehicles cannot meet accommodations for everyone. Many Vans and SUVs can be retrofitted to accommodate those confined to a wheelchair, but not every car is built that way. I really think some need to come to grips with their limitations. Obesity for many is a matter of self control in many instances, however their are a few that it is a fault of metabolism. Perhaps this should have been her wake up call to a healthier lifestyle. I was 95 lbs heavier 15 years ago, I lost the weight. It was tough but I feel better for doing it.It's one thing to fit on a bike, and another to fit through the door and be seated.
