Yes I understand that. The stupidity is driving without insurance.

Uber says that they have insurance that covers you ... do you believe Uber, or do you believe Aussie?

Aussie, to drive for UBER is madness.

well I don't plan on driving for either ....

I just like seeing Aussie get so worked up

That is something you'll never see.

you think? I think Uber has you pissing in your pants ... how much much money you put into those plates Aussie? Grin

You said that the government has organized the taxi system to profit from it so I say that it's very noble of you to maintain the status-quo for them so they can continue to profit from it Wink

"Profit' is not a word I'd use. The payment they receive on a licence release is revenue, and then there are ongoing fees and charges paid ~ they would argue are for 'services.'

It's still a very noble cause to help the government maintain its revenue stream from an otherwise outdated business model Cheesy

LOL

Of course it is.

The only ones grumbling about it are those sad and sorry sore losers who think they can continue to rip people off.

No, you must be mistaken, none of that would ever happen as the taxi industry is highly regulated by the government.

I'd be all for it if Uber cars had some sort of swipey thing, passenger/driver/registered vehicle. Swipe customers id, swipe drivers id, enter destination and pick-up points. Unreged/insured cars automatically denied, not sent, dodgy drivers not sent. It's like car pooling with unknowns. The unknowns need to be removed. A WWC check for drivers for eg. The idea is good, it's old, it's car pooling taken to another level. Safeguards, only people that have gone through proper police checks/wwc check should be accepted as drivers. IE you need to register to drive. A WWC check is $80.

There are no unknowns. Uber won't take on a driver with a car more than 5 years old so its pretty hard to get away with the old bomb routine. I believe the system is foolproof and payment is made online and not via the cab driver helping himself to your eftpos card. Yes I have seen a punch-up with a cab driver over this sort of thing !!
