There is also a great risk now that when Uber applies to become an ATO under the new proposed regs it could be declined due to there history of not compliing to the NZ laws.

Another factor that the clowns behind Uber have to consider is the investers, it was fun supporting them to set up, but as with China the setup investers told the Uber clowns to sort out the loses in China or get out.
The clowns behind Uber say they are worth billions but its investor billions not what the company had earned. Looks like the investers are getting towy, if I was an investor I would be looking for a return on my investment by now and be telling Uber to shape up. -
Ben you have overlooked a very important point, when the new proposed regs become law Uber cannot hide behind being an overseas idendity anymore but must comply, there will be no other option for them except of course to leave NZ.

Takes me back to the meetings our taxi group had with Uber 18 months ago. The final out come of those meetings was "if we Uber comply to the NZ Government we go against the worldwide policy of Uber, that policy is to have zero regulations worldwide to control us"
Where else in the world when faced with no way out of accepting regulations Uber usually chooses to pull out of there operation than bend to regulations. -
The start of the end of UBER has started, as I have always said the law is the law.
I am thinking that the Government may be about to ratify the proposed ammendments to the Transport Act. -
Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to Alfie,
That was how the problem was recified to those days, it was easy to enforce that solution because up to 1989 it was a criminal offence not pay a taxi driver and that included the fee for cleaning up.

On the various chats that go on over the net there appears to be a lot of resistance to P endorsements, COFs, PSLs, log books etc, we in the industry have to comply, sometimes we think this compliance can be over the top but when you see what is going on now without regulations being complied to it becomes very clear why we have these regulation in the first place as there has always been cowboys on the fringes. In time I think you will find the easy to comply regs we have now will be progressively tighten up to over come the abuse Uber encourages in fill the ranks of Uber drivers.

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to BenWilson,
An experienced taxi driver who has over the years had to deal with arseholes puking up, covering the interior with food and booze soon learns there is only one way to protect your investment and maintain income from that investment and to be happy working as a taxi driver there is a very simple approach. F**K off you arsehole and walk. Result your car is clean and presentable for decent traveling customers and every one is happy even the arsehole as they don't get hit with fees for cleaning, most arseholes don't have the money to cover these fees anyway.

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
how is the computorised car going to know and react to a drunk and his mates entering the car with food being eaten and open bottles, these two things are the curse of the taxi industry. At least a human driver can say f^^k off with that crap come back when you can respect the enviroment I work in.

Hi Ben, this crap about driverless cars is just a red herring from Uber, it basicly says do what we want in the way of removing regulations or we will let lose driversless cars on you. As you say how in the earth can they progamme a vehicle to do all sorts of things when the basic app does from time to time has faults. Is the passenger always where the app says they are for instance, this usually gets corrected by the driver or the passenger manually contacting the other party.
