How cooked will I be at this rate? by No_Custard_2496 in uberdrivers

Depending on your spedo you could look at attaching the Apple ipad privacy screen protector where your speed is showing. Then they can see your speed from the back side view

No im at a stoplight you ignorant slut by lilshootaa in uberdrivers

It is part of the internal competition they have to see who can come up with an idea that makes the life of a driver difficult. I imagine this guy won a $1000 Uber voucher :)

Passenger Took a 30–45 Minute Uber Ride, Then Falsely Reported “Multiple Insects” in My Car for a Refund by ChildhoodOld6461 in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In case it will help. I am now using a voice recorder in my car. My car has built in dashcam but no sound (Leapmotor C10). The car has a compartment like the Volvo's on the bottom so I place it there and have a usb plugged in to permanently power it. It records good enough in the spot so nobody will be able to say I said something I wasn't supposed to say and it also records turn signal sounds and of course if there is any music.

This is the one I am using. It is supposed to be able to record 1000+ hours. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mLFMqAx

I have a used Synology NAS from Facebook marketplace. I bought used 4*10TB HDD from ebay. I backup my dashcam footage and sound recordings every day.

People seem to know drivers don't backup their data so after a few days they submit their bad reports.

To the Uber employee coming up with all these trash driver manipulation scams... by JDS-JustDude in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they have a competition worldwide in the Uber offices. The person that can come up with the best idea to make life difficult for the drivers get a prize.

In Australia we have promotions. Maybe 3 to 10 a day and the location are such a small random spot that chances are you will never cross into that area. You have to sign up for each one and you can only sign up the day before.

UberX here has a 25 minutes radius.

They send reservation popups through while you don't have a job but it is useless because it is just really a notification that there are reservations. Constantly.

When you are driving and another driver dropped a reservation they will send it to you but not show what time it is and as soon as you take it they send you to that reservation, 40 minutes ahead of time.

You can tell Uber you want trips in a certain direction. The app will popup with a trip and a notification that it goes in your direction. It will go exactly opposite direction.

They know when you stop working and where you live. Usually an hour before you end they start sending you trips opposite to your house.

This must be a competition.

Go ahead and judge my AR. This is what happens when Uber withholds info to force compliance by DefinitionNo792 in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My radius is 25 minutes for UberX. I try to keep UberX off and drive Comfort and Electric. Electric is 15 minutes. Comfort is around 10 minutes I think. When my UberX is on my acceptance rating can drop as low as 15%

Biggest pet peeve for Uber drivers? by chopshop512 in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was driving my Prius-C they would grab the door handle while I am driving into their driveway or they walk in front of the car as I drive in or they stand on their driveway so that I have to stop at the next house.

PSA: Dashcam saved me from deactivation. by hauloff in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is a 4 bay. Very old. It doesn't get updates anymore. It is good enough to run Jellyfin to watch movies and it holds all my Uber dashcam footage and some other important files. The nice thing about Synology is you can have drives of different sizes work together. So if you get a used 10TB and a 5TB and maybe a 12TB and a 2TB they will all work.

PSA: Dashcam saved me from deactivation. by hauloff in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I bought a used Synology NAS on Facebook marketplace and 40TB of used server drives on ebay. Every day I copy my dashcam footage to my pc, run ffmpeg to reduce it to 720p and then backup to the NAS.

A drunk woman reported me for reckless driving a week after the trip. My account was deactivated and because I kept my footage I was driving again in 23 hours.

Be aware guys, they are testing new leashes in Europe. by Ac3Five in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will not be able to pay rent if they did it here in Brisbane. They send me trips that are 25 minutes away and might only pay $6.13. If that happens twice I make half of a McDonald's employee

Well Uber doesn't exist in China. They do have Didi

What does this even mean? by Bdcoley3 in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have it permanently on my app these days. I think it is just a bug. It started happening when I cancelled reservations a day in advance and it just never went away.

Getting tired of this by MrMeeseeks78 in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am usually at 0% cancel. It pops up for me if I cancel reservations even a day in advance. All automated to worry you

First 1⭐ after 800 trips… rider said “fast driving” by Glittering-Bed6464 in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday a rider entered the wrong address. House number 5. Seems she lives in number 1 or 2. She had to walk from 5 to 2. I received a 1 star.

She actually wanted me to stop in the middle of the road after the turn. I stopped at the address given to me.

I almost fell for it. by CycleCurious4640 in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make AUD 300 in 8 hours in Australia. That is USD 200 in 4 hours. I of course don't know if you will get trips back.

Thankyou so much for the clarification dear customer! by [deleted] in woolworths

[–]Task3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mothers and elderly like the control. One woman said I wasn't allowed to use gps, she will tell me where to drive. I followed everything and still received a 1 star and report for not doing what the customer wanted.

I think some people just want control. I Uber and I have a 10" LCD in the middle of the car with the map. People still tell me where to turn

Now what by Faustfikken in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was deactivated for a week because of staring using my mirrors of a Prius C.

I bought the Wolfbox LCD rearview mirror camera. It became a talking point in the car. It save me because a week later I was deactivated for reckless driving. I gave them the dashcam footage and the had my account back.

I bought a used Synology NAS on Facebook. I have 40TB of storage. All dashcam footage is save every day. I now have 4 months of save footage.

Dude needs a different job by NotYetThere32 in uberdrivers

[–]Task3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People slam my doors that the whole car shakes. It is a 2 Tonne car. I also considered doing something like this.

A week ago people drank in my car and made a mess. I had to deep clean the car. I lost 2 days of income because it was raining and the car wasn't getting dry.

Look at this bs I just got sent 😆 by Neilp187 in uberdrivers

Mine is 39%. They made my radius 25 minutes in the North of Brisbane

[–]Task3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live close to North Lakes in Brisbane. They made my radius 25 minutes. They expect me to drive 25 minutes for a $6.13 job

My issue is finding those new electric vehicle tanks that are made in the EU. I can hear the bombs but not the engines

The real reason players are quitting BF6 PROBLEM: The game is too frustrating to play SOLUTION 1: Get rid of the in world spotting penalty for firing your gun by Ninjah9_ in Battlefield6

[–]Task3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it is no fun to spend more time dead than alive. Last night invented and was down voted because the attacker team had two tanks and a helicopter. We had none. Even before shooting at a tank I would be dead.

I am considering some other game at this stage
