Uber has been trying to maintain a distance from it's drivers for this reason...they're "Contractors" not employee's. So we're not responsible. They say "We're just an app/software company that connects you to willing drivers". Although the recent ruling in Calif. recently may redefine that...whatever makes them more responsible for who shows up the better..."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W.

I know...right? I guess it's because people have in their head that these are employees that have been background checked and vetted...plus they drive nice new shiny cars so they must be ok..."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W.

There was that case where a 12 year old girl wanted to run off halfway across the country to meet a boy she met online, and found a taxi driver willing to take her. I didn't realize taxis would actually take unaccompanied kids that young."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

No wonder Uber doesn't want to get involved with background checks, insurance verification...etc."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer

The California labor board ruled the other day that Uber drivers are employees and not independent contractors. This legal language will probably have to evolve accordingly."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Did you see the first thing from User Requirements and conduct?
"User Requirements and Conduct.
The Service is not available for use by persons under the age of 18. You may not authorize third parties to use your Account, and you may not allow persons under the age of 18 to receive transportation or logistics services from Third Party Providers unless they are accompanied by you."
If you accept them to download the APP, how can the Mom then sue Uber?"What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer
