We really gotta do a better job screening these guys, huh?

To be an Uber driver, you need to have a valid license. At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work in theory. However, some have found ways around this system, usually by using someone else’s identity in order to open an account.

This is bad for many reasons — not only because it allows one to circumvent a background check, but because it can cause issues when there are accidents. In the case below, this man is claiming that his Uber driver got into an accident and, rather than directly admit fault, begged for his passenger to say that he was the one driving as he didn’t have a valid license.

Not great!
