Driver traded $1700 for a 5* rating? World's dumbest driver. He missed the chance to double up by driving the hapless pax back.

The driver didn't charge him?!??

Your response didn't refresh before I posted mine...🤣

Dude lost his entire day for five stars? Um...no...😳

Yeah, sure, like the driver isn't going to confirm an address that's 250 miles away and the pax is going to sleep through the 4 hour ride.

Fake story.

I don't think the driver had any reason to not charge the passenger other than being a "good samaritan". That driver must have had an extremely kind heart. If I were in his situation, I'd still require payment. Kindness has limits. Become too kind and you end up hurting yourself and becoming a target for abuse.

That is why Uber drivers are a paycheck away from living in thier cars.

Driver still in sympathy mode. Must be new.

Wtf does this mean. The journalist does not know what he is talking about or UK is different. I thought the timer is for accepting trips... if the last trip runs past that, it is still paid out.

too many things don't make sense about this story
#1
It took the driver 5 Hours to drive 250 miles? 50MPH average speed? That's very slow especially in the middle of the night with no traffic!

#2

A 250 mile trip does not = $1700 fare on Uber's platform. It doesn't even come up to $500.

#3
only an idiot would take someone on a 250 mile trip in the middle of the night and waive the fee at the end

#4
That part where it says UK drivers are only allowed to be online for 10 hours so the driver didn't get paid for half of the trip. That doesn't make much sense either. Why did the app let him accept a trip he wasn't eligible for?

#5
How was he allowed on a train without paying for it?

Just because YOU are
doesnt mean all of us are...

I believe the article states he wasted half of his markets “driving limits(5 of the 10 hours)”. So now he can only work 5 more hours. His first five hour ride he decided to refund.

Ok thanks that clears up Point #5.
