With all due respect I don't understand why you would tolerate someone in any line of work who does not know their job and perform well. My employment would be terminated if I screwed up as badly as some of these uber drivers. Would you accept the same kind of excuses from the volunteer fire and police employees that work a day or two a week (we have many of those here)?
I don't care if you work 5 hours or 50 you need to know your job period. Driving for uber is one of the lowest skill jobs and the barriers to entry are pretty low. But if you just moved to the area it is not the right job for you unless you are willing to invest some time learning local geography and traffic patterns.
