Oooh this is a good one!

If you are unsure in a crash, call your insurer and ask them for steps (sometimes it’s on the card). Don’t be pressured to skip those steps, if anyone disagrees tell them “I’m just doing what it says on the insurance”

Don’t ever admit fault, even if you think it is your fault (sometimes it’s not!!), let insurance and lawyers figure it out. It’s generally ok to talk to other party to make sure their health is OK. Take lots of photos of the scene.

Unsolicited advice - get a dashcam. I’ve heard stories change many times as they flow through the claims process and evidence helps stops things becoming unfair.

I suspect when you contact them there is a dashboard that tells the customer service operator how much effort they should put in to retain you as a customer.

Good citation, thanks!

I’d just like to interject for a moment.

What you’re referring to as ‘penguin’ is in fact Sphenisciformes Spheniscidae, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, the Southern Hemispherical aquatic flightless bird.

Closing the stable door after the horse has made a 12 hour flight, settled in a new country married with children, recently gained citizenship and is a well respected member of the local school board.

The benefit of starting the number at 1 is the majority of apartment blocks and hotels can have 4 digit room numbers with the first digit representing the floor it’s on.

E.g. room 4201 is on 4th floor and 1691 is on 1st floor

A 1 year increase in market share from 3.18% to 4.55% is not a 1.37% increase, it’s a 43% increase!

In 2023 our CEO told us we weren’t getting inflationary pay increases because it is bad for the economy if we get paid more

It makes it easy to identify people doing bad things. Task failed successfully.

That network of contractors is a pretty cool idea, I think that’s the kind of network I would like an exception carved out for.

The other commenter made a fair point that its commercial viability is questionable, but as the world changes I’d still want to leave to scope to try.

I have many issues with Uber as a corporation - their treatment of customers, employees and drivers. But with case law, I have concerns for the precedent this sets.

Ruling drivers as employees risks removing scope for a ridesharing services entirely, and locks ad hoc transportation to the old inefficient taxi system.

With personal vehicles sitting idle, I do think there should be scope left for some platform for drivers to offer services at any price at any time if they feel it is worthwhile. It increases mobility across the spectrum, and allows for better allocation of resources.

I think the bigger issue is why Uber has so much leverage to control the pricing and terms of drivers in the first place, and why there aren’t more alternatives to force them to be competitive.
