What should be covered in an understanding of Lyft's background check procedure, by this I mean a very serious discussion, the best-revealing resource being firsthand sharing from the drivers. With the article you attached, I feel that it only gives general insights into Lyft's background check. From my observation, Lyft's background check is thorough; generally, what they look out for would be red flags of a driver who might pose a risk to passengers. This includes criminal history, a driving record, and even vehicle-related issues. One thing to keep in mind is that Lyft places a high emphasis on safety. Therefore, they will generally pay close attention to any serious offenses or patterns of risky behavior. However, they would take into consideration the context of the incident and, therefore, a minor one from years ago might not disqualify you. In terms of what to recommend, I would say straightforward and open-hearted interactions with the application process. Any inconsistency or trying to avoid certain information may call up red flags and make it difficult for you to be approved.
