Does this rambling snippet have a point of any kind? If it does, I don't see it. There's no conversation, no names and no story. I don't get it. You might be better to just write all this stuff in a diary or a blog.
I think the first anon missed the point.
Sometimes it's enough to contemplate events that happened over a lifetime, little snippets of reality, made real as you have done here - it's important to get them written down. And once written, shared. The point is the writing, and indeed, there's a story here, but it doesn't need to be spelled out and made "obvious."
There are no names because I never knew them and no dialogue because I could only remember what the police officer said.
i wasn't sure if the administrators would approve the topic but I noticed that they had accepted essays on a eclectic group of subjects. If they hadn't I wasn't going to start a blog; I don't have the desire or material for one now.
Anyway, at some point I'll have a comparison between the industry as it was then (mostly from the drivers' point of view) and the new Uber/Lyft reality that is emerging. I promise that it will be a real bodice-ripping page-turner.
