According to the American Automobile Association more than 38 million Americans were expected to travel by car over Memorial Day weekend.
That is the second-highest Memorial Day travel volume on record and the most since 2005. Thanks to significantly lower gasoline prices — the lowest in more than a decade — about 700,000 more people will travel compared with 2015.
Some of those vehicles on the road belonged to ride-hailing companies such as Uber and Lyft. A question for their riders is how safely the ride-hailing drivers operate their cars when compared to average U.S. drivers.
