Re:Uber ordered to pay $1.1M to blind woman refused rides by caddemon on Monday April 05, 2021 @06:32PM (#26705484)
I get enforcement is basically impossible on this/people throw around the word "traumatized" way too much - but I knew a girl who was attacked by a dog as a child and would have panic attacks if a large dog got anywhere near her. I'm not sure if you've ever seen a real panic attack but these are legitimate physical symptoms that can be very difficult to control, and would be extremely non-ideal to occur while driving.

If you want to argue that this condition should mean she can't be an Uber driver I can see your point, but the comparison to race or sexual orientation is pretty absurd. I'm not aware of anyone who has panic attacks when seeing a human of another race or orientation.
