A ride-hailing driver experienced an unfortunate incident during the carnival weekend in Gama, Brasília, where his car was struck from behind by another vehicle displaying a sticker from the Department of Roads of the Federal District (DER-DF). The incident occurred as William Fernandes, who uses ride-hailing as a supplementary income, slowed down for a speed bump and was unexpectedly hit from behind. He recounted the moment, emphasizing that he had reduced his speed significantly before the collision occurred.

Fernandes described the other driver as showing signs of intoxication, a detail that adds a concerning dimension to the incident. After the crash, rather than offering assistance, the another driver opted to film the situation but pleaded with Fernandes not to record the incident. Footage captured during this confrontation raises questions about accountability and the behavior of drivers under potential influence.

Such incidents are crucial to highlight as they underscore ongoing issues related to road safety, particularly concerning the actions of government-related vehicles and impaired driving. The fact that the driver fled the scene without assisting the victim could also trigger discussions about legal recourse for victims of such hit-and-run situations.
