That assumes that "anyone they can find at software company" is anywhere near the jail.

I certainly didn't figure this to work at all. I'm actually surprised that the "Do Not Call" list works as well as it does.
As for me, ABP, NoScript, BetterPrivacy and Ghostery seem to do the job well enough
The company has the name and address that the driver gave.
I could easily give 1060 W. Addison, Chicago, Illinois as my address (assuming I lived in the Chicago area).
Is Uber going to stop me?
If the driver was only in the area where the pedestrian was hit because the passenger was paying the driver, then it could be argued that the passenger shares liability with the driver.
If the driver was an Uber driver, then both Uber and the passenger could be liable.
The driver could also face criminal charges, depending on jurisdiction.
But the original point was that the portion of the Uber fare paid to the driver may not be sufficient to cover fuel and maintenance on the car, much less the required commercial insurance and/or licensing.
Thus, drivers are probably cutting corners by neglecting maintenance, not buying insurance, etc. A large portion of the commercial licensing requirements involves proving that the taxi owner is performing maintenance, has the required insurance, and that the drivers have the correct license. Apparently, Uber doesn't do any of that. Therefore, I have to agree with the Victoria government and the legal taxi and limo drivers. I wouldn't use the Uber service.
Good for you.
Can you verify that ALL Uber drivers have similar brakes (or even WORKING brakes) on their cars?
They have the same negotiating power as other employees, too: leave the country
Fixed that for you.
So OF COURSE that means that NOBODY ELSE is having problems ANYWHERE!
RTFA, N00b!
Anybody still want to argue that there are major differences between the two major political parties here in America?
