Ricky Williams posted a video showing his Lyft driver telling the passenger he \u201cbetter get out\u201d of his car, and stating that his ride would be canceled. The TikToker noted that upon seeing him, the driver suddenly said that he couldn\u2019t give him a ride because his car had a flat tire. He also told Ricky to \u201cget the f**k away from\u201d his vehicle, and threatened to call the police on the rider. \u201cYou must be crazy to stand in front of somebody\u2019s car,\u201d the driver said in the clip, which has amassed 1.5 million views. \u201cI\u2019m not your Lyft driver no more.\u201d When Ricky asked what he meant by that, the man continued yelling at him as he got back in his car. He drove away ultimately, despite claiming that his tire was flat. \u201cThrowback to when my Lyft driver saw me come outside and all of a sudden had a \u2018flat\u2019 tire,\u201d a text overlay on the TikTok read. \u201cMan I just wanted a ride home,\u201d Ricky wrote in a caption for the video. In the comments, many users were happy the TikToker didn\u2019t drive with the man, as he did not seem safe to be around. \u201cHonestly I\u2019m glad you are safe. It doesn\u2019t feel like it would have been safe to stay in his car,\u201d one user said. \u201cYou don\u2019t wanna ride with him anyway please don\u2019t,\u201d another agreed. \u201cI\u2019m sorry but I wouldn\u2019t even attempt to get into his car after he got out,\u201d a third wrote. Others suspected that the Lyft driver\u2019s reluctance had to do with the fact that Ricky\u2019s a Black man. \u201cIn this day and age is f**king wild. Sorry, you went through that,\u201d one commented. \u201cRacial discrimination smh,\u201d another shared. \u201cHow are you racist working a public serving job that isn\u2019t race inclusive,\u201d a third added. This is just the latest ride-hailing-related moment to go viral on TikTok, after a passenger got kicked out of her Uber when her boyfriend canceled her ride mid-trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lyft driver goes crazy at passenger in viral clip after claiming he has a flat tire TIKTOK: rickywilliams303A Lyft driver went viral on TikTok as he allegedly pretended to have a flat tire to avoid driving his passenger.
