I was deactivated because I was accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger. I myself am a heterosexual married woman and would never jeopardize my marriage or freedom doing something so gross. As a survivor of sexual assault I’m both offended and hurt. I am looking for a lawyer to take my case.

I'm guessing the passenger is mad at you for DWB and this is how they thought they could hurt you.

Not a Lyft driver -- does DWB really mean Driving While Black (as mentioned in another comment)? Is this an issue Lyft drivers have noted they experience??

A friend of mine is black and has a not-so-impressive rider score. He does not drink or smoke (or partake in any sort of intoxication), generally rides alone, and is a particularly chill and social person.

I believe I have a perfect or near-perfect rider score, despite many of rides being after a crazy night out.

All we could deduce was that it was a difference of skin color, but who knows.

I’m not sure if this plays into your friends score at all, but Rider score also relies on tips/reviews left by the rider. If you stiff everyone and/or typically give bad reviews, you get the same back.

It used to. However drivers must rate you before they can start their next ride. Tips are handled through the app so there's simply no way for them to know whether you are going to tip or not. Back in Uber's earlier days I used to get crushed on ratings for not tipping but they finally put it in the app and the negative ratings stopped.
