Taxicab driver permits are managed and issued by the police department, and each driver is required to be approved for a permit. The permitting process includes a criminal history vetting by the police department prior to approval. Because of his criminal history, Abdi had been denied three times in the past when applying for a permit.
OK, you found one incident involving a rouge taxi driver in California in the past six months. How many such incidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers occurred in that time period?
Regardless, my main concern is the grossly inadequate liability insurance while the so-called "rideshare" drivers are not actually carrying passengers.
