I don’t think I’ve ever felt so unsafe in a car in my life. This was earlier this morning in Markham/richmond hill/toronto. It wasn’t raining anymore. It just stopped so the roads were extremely wet and there were still foggy portions . This driver was doing upwards of 176 km/h weaving in and out of the HOV lane going southbound on Highway 404 through Markham and the speeds continued all the way onto the 401 E. on that sharp curve he took that curve. I didn’t wanna look up and then continued to go 150+ on the busy 40 one that’s when I finally had to speak up and I said hey buddy you’re gonna kill us and I ended up saying you’re speeding what you wanna go faster with a stupid dumb smile on his face. So at that point I ended up contacting Uber support. I got a notification that they will be in contact with me after the ride and what a joke they are too. They just do nothing. They’re gonna allow this guy to keep being on the platform and get rides all day. If not his first rodeo you don’t drive that fast if you’re not comfortable doing that speed.

Sorry for the rant. I’m still kind of in shock about that ride. Everyone I’ve told is just absolutely flabbergasted so what can I do? What are my options? I think I’m gonna report this to the OPP nonemergency line as I can’t do it online because I have a name of the person but what else can I do? I want my money back for this ride, but they don’t seem to be wanting to give me my money back is this not a fair resolution cause I don’t think they realize the severity of an accident doing 176 km you’re not surviving it.

62 cents a mile with a 4+ hour dead leg back? HARD pass.

This was a uber courier saver booking in London - £11 for 8 miles, needless to say that it was cancelled of course, I was compensated £1.50 by driver support lmao, insane

I live in California, and when I take uber it doesn’t allow me to give compliments or whatever, and I’ve had these compliment forever. So I was just curious the deal with this.

Pretty impressed with payout specially under 3 hours!

Im an uber one member , my Uber rating is 4.74 and I’m confused because I feel like I do everything “right” (on time, polite, tip, I communicate well, Ive had drivers ask if they mind them talking on the phone which I don’t, I buckle up. etc.)

The only thing is I don’t really like chatting past a certain point but I’m not rude but I kind of just trail off (I usually uber during morning rush hour it’s 8 AM I don’t want to have a 25 minute talk on my 30 minute ride it’s not personal) , but especially when drivers ask personal questions. I’ve had it happen where male drivers steer from being generally friendly to taking a turn. When this happens I keep it short because it makes me uncomfortable sometimes.I’ve also had drivers get upset with me once we run into traffic especially if its a shorter ride “This isn’t worth is for a ride this short I only get paid half of what you pay”. I live in an urban city so I’m not particularly phased when that happens.

Do drivers rate passengers lower for not engaging in conversation? What causes a low rating ? Trying to figure out what I might be doing wrong
