I've never had a Uber driver that I had a second thought about. Around here, most of them are college kids just trying to make an extra buck.

You think cabbies are safer than Uber? Haha.

Secondly, most personal insurance policies specifically exclude commercial activity, which ride sharing for profit is.
This is true, however Uber has a $1 million dollar liability policy on every driver, so if you're a rider, there's no reason to be concerned.

Sorry, guy, not buying it. As someone who takes Uber regularly and has driven for Uber, they're not the menace to society you're trying to portray them as.
