we need to stick together on this, TFL is asking if they should charge us for CC, imagine 26,000 black drivers responding yes to this survey!

I had a customer which was very rude to me and I asked him nicely to get off my car because of his attitude which I am not willing to accept.
Guess what?
He said to Uber in my car was smelling like marijuana, I was driving careless, speeding.....so on.
Uber got me de-activated and had to wait to wait for them to listen to my side of the story while me not being able to make money to provide for my family!!!
Uber Client always first and then the driver....
Be careful with strange customers, they can always make a serious allegation against you and by the time Uber will realise its all lies, you will lose days of work-we have no protection in this situations!

they will steal it!!! They stole my charger in the back many times

How annoying is this? Free road but you have a cyclist who decided to have the road for him while there a dedicated cycle lane on the side???
What should we do? I told him and he showed me the finger, fkin pricks...I propose these guys to get a PCN because they dont obey the rules

Just a quick tip, when apply to renew tell your broker that you have a dash-cam inside your car and you should be entitled to 10% discount !!!

If you are in your 40 years you might still have a chance and you dont need to change the job
IF your in your 50 years, you can relax and not worried- by the time technology will threat your job, you will wait for pension
If you are below 40- dude start thinking by now what you're going to do when you will be 50 years old as your job will be taken by the machines!

10 more years before this job will start to be disrupted and 20 years until full automation and no jobs in this industry.
 

They think is something worth doing it, not having confidence to do it properly. Disable the gps to trick the system, for what? U might get a £15 job

This move totally disrupts their former  core concept of not owning assets  !!!!!

This is unbelievable, what a master plan from Uber.
All this licence show was actually a distraction fromt he main point, which is the driverless legal ground .
Now they have it, UBer can bring it on UK roads without a problem.
In 6-7 years almost everything  will be gone, they will snap 50% of the market in the first year, special the UBerX market.
Mr Hammond is due to announce regulation changes in Wednesday's Budget which will allow developers to apply to test driverless vehicles on UK roads.
Asked about the potential loss of jobs for drivers, he said the country could not "hide from change" and the government had to equip people with the skills "to take up new careers".

How is it possible to be in the middle of the surge area and no jobs or jobs with no surge
Or you get a job on surge and by the time you get there is cancelled because the surge is gone, time waisted and frustration generated

Yeah, they need the money to invest in Uber :))

PHV licence from £100 to £140 multipled with 90k cars = £3.6 millions more extra money just from cars every year which in total is £13 millions, use to be around £9 mil

They pay £500 for new drivers and people still think it will be banned



 just 2 facts:
1-London – June 11, 2015 – TfL Pension Fund ('The Fund') has appointed BlackRock to manage liability-driven investing (LDI) and passive equity portfolios totaling £3.8bn assets.


 

 
2-By rum coincidence, Blackrock invested a reported £124 million in Uber in 2014, giving it a stake which is now worth nearly £500 million

All those people who just spent a lot of money for 2015 and up models will have to do it again. Hahahhahaah, but you might get a £5000 grant. Good ideea but i am not sure how will work for everyone 
 
 

You have time until July 2018 now! Relax, have a beer, plenty of time to learn

I think the hunger reduce the brain

If you drive for Exec or Lux, you have to drive towards the city, you have to chase the middle class or upper class clients  

With LUX if dont earn £300/day you're losing money

With LUX if dont earn £300/day you're losing money

I'd say less. I'd say so far out of 800 or so journeys 30 tops have been exec

Maybe. Earnings are irrelevant though, it's the amount of profit you make, which mattters. 
Going by your figures, I'd reckon it would cost more than £40 extra a day to run a brand new £70,000 LWB Lux car, compared to a 8 year old Prius (I know these are the extreme ends of the scale, but it's perfectly possible). 
Therefore, an experienced X driver who knows where the work and knows their way around London, will earn more in their 8 year old Prius (who paid cash outright for their car), than the new Lux driver, who has just entered the trade, financed to the hilt, with £1k monthly leasing payments.
 
Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity.
