Apparently there was an article on The West Australian web site sometime yesterday. However, it was later taken down, which also means that it wasn't in today's printed newspaper.

It was something to do with refusing to provide records for previous bookings.

Dunno... might be worth tinkering with some Google cache searching tonight, but if anyone feels inclined to call DOT and ask about it then please do so.

That sounds like uberblack. SCV's are supposed to keep complete records of bookings. I was asked for my records about 6 mths after driving for Uberblack.

Agreed.

I wonder if Uber will contribute toward any of it?

No-one's got $14k to pay for anything right now.

He was silly for refusing to hand over records.
I knew exactly what they would be looking for so made sure all information I gave them fitted their requirements and I never heard anymore from them.

Interesting.. Did they ask for Uber trip history or were they more interested in your privates where you should have charged $60 minimum? Did you have to follow a certain way of recording your trips Potsy?

At the time I didnt want to even admit I was working for Uber so my records showed only private jobs that were $60 and above.

I'm actually surprised - the minister had earlier implied that all charges would be dropped.

If the other 37 drivers also cop $14k in court costs then it's going to get expensive.

If anyone on here has communications in the near future with Uber then please ask if they are going to pay those costs for the drivers. Don't take any bullshit, demand a simple yes or no answer.

Phildo, this morning I did what u suggested. I sent email to uber asking if it's ok to keep driving during this transition period.
I asked for a clear yes or no answer as I'm sick of their normal responses.
I haven't received a reply yet so I'll let you know.
