The concern is that Uber drivers are under-insured and under-investigated. A rider could jump in the personal car of someone driving illegally on the own car policy or jump into the car of a convicted rapist/robber/murderer.
If those issues are publicized, folks will know what they’re deciding. Afterwards, just let the riders decide for themselves if they want to still use the Uber service.
Blah blah blah. I’m sick of the nanny states deciding what risks I can take, and which i cannot.
as a former cab driver believe me, even with regulations you don’t want to know who’s driving
