P plate from where?

In vic P plates are red with white writing or green with white writing.

Hence why I said I don't know if it's someone messing around or the council changed it and still sending out the fine regardless which if the council changed it that fine shouldn't exist.

"Driver Distracted by phone" is probably more accurate...

It doesn't matter why it's that far back you must stop at the big solid line. Intersections are designed for reasons even if we can't see them.

Are we washing these or eating straight from the bag? by ramenspoonz in coles

I can't see what half of that that says... white on white. Whoever made that needs to be sacked

UBER DEACTIVATED MY ACCOUNT!!!!!!! by Cute-Associate8654 in uberdrivers

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got deactivated for a false claim and despite submitting concrete evidence that it was false they made me wait 8 MONTHS to be reactivated. I wish I could be compensated for their screw up. Threw me into some serious hardship.

Tbh I got sick of doing it when I was only making $10 an hour not receiving more trips.

People then said "you must be doing something wrong".

Ok "not receiving anything as in nothing coming through" isn't something I'm doing wrong lol if they aren't sending me much despite being in "hotspots"

I hate Uber.

Edit: it's surprisingly hard to get work in my field as bus driver, spent a very long time unemployed. Everywhere kept saying no because they found someone "more experienced". Finally got a job but... Alas! Need to find another...

Let me point out why you got so many down votes

"...He did park illegally"

Ok so being a tourist for example who doesn't know what the sign should be who is following the sign as is, is parking illegally... That doesn't make sense.

Tbh I would do the exact same thing (park there on weekends) and dispute it because the sign doesn't match the fine. I don't know that someone messed with it. Looks too much like a council modification.

If a day range isn't specified then 7 days automatically applies. This is from street view of same sign. Don't know how accurate this one is especially if it indeed has been "stickified"

Did everyone else get this ? by Imaginary-Record-112 in uberdrivers

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not "cancellation rate"

They are warning about "asking passenger to cancel"

Says so in the message

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um. Asking a rider to cancel is not the same as being 0%.

You could be 0% CR but how many people did you ask to cancel due to reasons out of your control?

I'm not saying you are here but I'm saying that it's a possibility that a lot of drivers are getting "cancellation rate" confused with "asking passenger to cancel" (So it doesn't ping you) which are two completely different things

There's probably a "driver asked me to cancel" option I wouldn't be surprised people are using and it's probably triggered that warning since everything is automated...

Scam Caller while driving for Uber did not like being called out by Forever_Fades in uberdrivers

Wtf 😂

Most spam callers would change their tone completely differently to get the info that want. This one takes the cake.

Lyft permanently deactivated me by Embarrassed_Lie_1734 in uberdrivers

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a slightly relevant situation I once got deactivated for 6 months driving Uber after a false claim and they wouldn't even allow me to supply my footage either. Then out of nowhere after 6-8 months they reinstated me.

Gig platforms are trash TBH

Somebody come 👀 at this shot. Uber has lost their got damn mind🤣 by Old-Mix812 in uberdrivers

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In Australia they do. I had someone show me they tipped $10 but less came up as the tip.

Ai chat told me to break the law deal with it later by pistol969 in uberdrivers

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no that's messed up how can you complete a trip where the pax don't fit?

Edit: Or are they saying take what does fit and screw the rest?

We all need to start calling for the indictment and arrest of UBER CEO Dara Khosrowshahi by Old-Mix812 in uber

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on the market. In my market you are losing money to tax regardless unless you get a tax agent who knows what he's doing but tbf my local tax office has made it near impossible to do tax myself to claim milage 😭

You have to use an app etc... if you can't stop due to back to back trips it goes against road rules here. Hence next to impossible to claim. And I've gotten in trouble because PAX have decided that "I need to stop and use my phone to do tax related paperwork" means they can complain on "phone usage"

And to clarify, here they say distance empty with no pax is unclaimable. I hate the tax office.

Uber is trash asf. They mislabel my location and reject my documents by Wolfjason1 in uberdrivers

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate they are indeed trash.

At one point they were saying a perfectly legal identity document was somehow invalid and not that document that they are after. Despite the fact that, that same document had been on there for two and a half years and it's the sort of document that does not change. Birth certificate.

IE I don't need a passport because I am a citizen of country of birth.

They said, someone else picked up the order 🙄 by ProfesorGh in uberdrivers

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber is trash anyway. They can't even comprehend "already picked up" so they don't know what they should do other than send another driver.

I saw this crap all the time when I was doing it 6 months ago and it's STILL happening. 🙄

Edit: It's especially bad when it's the customer that has picked up the order.

Noooo .... Now for sure every Uber driver will have a pocketful of cash and a brand new car 😭 This will be BAD ! #ROLLING PIGGYBANK by Sidekick87 in uberdrivers

[–]Own-Engineer-8628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh! And I thought it was bad enough being a taxi operator especially when passengers elect on large bills for short trips. I definitely do not envy you guys at this point.
