Uber must approve, and knows exactly what car he drives. It presumably does some checks on its ownership, suitability, whether it's licensed and insured for private hire, etc. https://www.uber.com/en-GB/drive/lon...-requirements/ The main complaint is that they don't (do much checking). And reportedly the problem with insurance is they don't track cancellations I'm not even sure there's a mechanism for that even if they wanted to They could do spot checks on the drivers, say once a month on average for each, and blacklist the ones without insurance. Presuming lack of access to insurers' databases then that depends on production of paperwork for policies which could have been since cancelled. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
