Gig Economy Pressures Make Drivers 'More Likely To Crash' (bbc.com)
Drivers and couriers who get their work from apps face a "heightened risk" of crashes, a study suggests. From a report: Research from University College London (UCL) indicated 42% of "gig-economy" couriers and taxi drivers reported vehicle damage because of a collision. Close to half admitted time pressure could make them break the speed limit. Distraction by smartphones and tiredness from overwork were also flagged as risks for those delivering food and parcels. The report draws on 200 responses to an online survey from drivers and couriers, as well as 48 in-depth interviews. The study does not focus on any one particular company, although Uber and Deliveroo are both named as examples of companies that enable gig-economy work -- where employees are not paid a salary but instead get money for each job completed. Of those surveyed, 63% said they had not been provided with safety training on managing risks on the road, while one in 10 reported someone had been injured in a crash while they had been working.
Or maybe it is the cocktail of designer prescription drugs for every made up millenial sob story that makes them crash
Low Cost - quality - safety.
Pick a dot in the triangle you like best. The further you move towards low cost trough lack of regulation you decrease quality or safety.
In interesting solution would be if the apps started fining those they are paying if they were speeding. probably wont' happen unless a lot of people die.
âoeTolerance applies only to persons, but never to truth. Intolerance applies only to truth, but never to persons.
More likely to crash.. compared to who? This is just a survey that doesn't compare itself to other delivery or taxi drivers. For it to be relevant at all you need to make comparisons to the industry.
It could very easily be that people who drive for a living feel time pressure, and get into crashes. Is that at all surprising?
Well, yeah ... you have a bunch of people suddenly scrambling to eke out a few bucks ... they have no oversight, no standards, no commercial driver's license, and probably inadequate insurance.
Uber et al are leaving them with less and less of the pie, and they're driving more and more hours for less and less money on the spiral to the bottom where they likely can't even cover their vehicle wear and tear.
I took an Uber exactly once, because a friend used it and insisted on it. The entire time, the driver was looking at his phone, half lost, making some scary turns, and almost missed a stop light.
My impression is you are getting into the car of some random dude, who has had only the most cursory vetting and demonstration of qualifications, and that I'd never get into one again.
Uber is basically "getting into cars with random strangers", and if I wanted that, I'd hitch-hike. That they're essentially off-loading the costs of running an illegal taxi company to their drivers further cements they'll never get a dime of my money.

No I am not RTF... f clickbait. Did they correct for miles driven? Obviously if you are doing Uber many hours a week your collision risk goes up.
love is just extroverted narcissism
42% of "gig-economy" couriers and taxi drivers reported vehicle damage because of a collision
How does that compare to the general public? how about when corrected per vehicle mile/hour?
Of course an Uber or Taxi driver is going to be more likely to get into a collision since they drive more. I drive 20 minutes in the morning and evening on familiar routes that I've driven hundreds of times before. I deliberately avoid congested downtown areas when I drive, choosing off-peak times to drive downtown whenever possible.
A car-share driver is in the car all day long, called out to areas throughout the city and beyond in areas were he may have never been, and his busiest time is also the most congested time, he can't change his work hours to avoid congestion since that's exactly the times his customers most want to travel.
Spamming this yet again? Here are the facts about your software:
1) It is incredibly slow and inefficient, taking an excessively long time to sort hosts files and remove duplicates. By the author's own accounts, the software was poorly and inefficiently written. The author responded with a link to testimonials that have thoroughly been debunked, as described later in this post.
2) It is written in an arcane language, Object Pascal, because the author hasn't learned any superior alternatives like C or scripting languages like Python.
3) It is written now to run on Linux, but the author is a novice with Linux. You are trusting someone to secure your Linux system who doesn't actually know much about Linux.
4) Development of the Windows versions have stalled and new releases are unlikely because the author is too cheap and broke to pay for a new Windows computer. The author indicates that the Windows version is complete. In reality, it has been abandoned.
5) Reviews are for the Windows version and are snippets taken out of context from longer posts that are critical of the software and/or its author. The reviews are extremely misleading. The author conveniently does not provide links to the original comments, likely to increase the difficulty of finding the original posts and reading the generally negative context.
6) The author's promised BSD and MacOS versions, the release of which is supposedly imminent, are horribly behind schedule. The author recently claimed that they are being tested. However, more recently, the author moved the goalposts and stated that no specific BSD version is needed because of Linux binary compatibility. This change indicates the author is ignorant of the operating systems that you are trusting him to secure. Furthermore, it is partially false because OpenBSD no longer has Linux binary compatibility. The author has failed to provide updates on the status of the MacOS version.
7) The software is closed source, preventing audits of the source code that would ensure malicious code is not embedded. The extremely vindictive nature of its author, as evidenced by years of hostile posts on public forums, makes the embedding of malicious code a very real concern. The author has since claimed that Steven Burn of MalwareBytes audited the source code and found it clean. It is unclear whether building the audited source code can reproduce the binary that is distributed. It is also unclear whether this is an audit of the current version or a previous one. Regardless, even if the current version is clean, it is entirely possible that future versions might not be clean.
8) The hosts files are not actually created or curated by the author. Instead, they are obtained from several third party sources. These third party files are freely available and the functionality of the author's software can easily be duplicated by anyone willing to download these freely available files.
9) The author has claimed to have blacklisted every single ad server in existence, a highly dubious claim. He has since denied making such a ridiculous claim, further raising questions about his integrity.
10) The software relies on a blacklisting approach, which is inherently inferior to whitelists. Despite more than ample evidence favoring the use of whitelists, the author aggressively criticizes them in favor of his blacklist approach.
11) The result is a massive hosts file that makes DNS resolution incredibly inefficient. The author disputes this, repeatedly parroting claims that his software speeds computers up in multiple ways.
12) Despite paranoid claims that critics.of his software are mainly webmasters and advertisers, the author is almost certainly the most prolific spammer on Slashdot. He repeatedly advertises his software in off-topic comments despite years of requests to refrain from doing so.
13) The author clearly suffers from a number of undiagnosed mental health issues including narcissistic personality disorder. These issues render him virtually u

I thought this article was about Device Drivers that wouldn't crash...wishful thinking.
The title is unsubstantiated. The study does not have a 'control group'. There is no way to say if the risk is heightened or lowered. It could easily be true that the increased experience of these drivers is making them safer than average. The headline should be disregarded.

Are these apps not designed so that they can only be used when the vehicle is stopped? That is listed as a major factor in TFA so either drivers should be putting their phones down while driving or the app should be redesigned. I would say something to my cab driver if they didn't have their eyes on the road.
Also, it mentions that Uber "obliges (sic)" drivers to take a break, but how can they expect to control that seeing as the whole structure rewards drivers for taking rides and penalizes them for not taking rides? If they truly wanted them to take breaks, then they should be rewarded for taking breaks.
Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.
With little training driving on personal insurance. Sooner or later one of them is going to cause a big enough wreck that nobody wants to pay for it and the person they hit is screwed. Nevermind that when you get hit by an Uber driver they've got incentive to try and drive off....

In this country (U.S.) we used to teach people to drive when they were in highschool. That stopped at least a couple decades ago, and while vehicle safety features and overall quality has improved, driver skill has declined as a result of less rigorous driver education and training. Just learning barely enough to pass a multiple-choice test and a barely passing grade on a short skills test isn't enough, it's why we have crashes and deaths, and it's why a segment of the population wants to jam so-called 'self driving cars' down everyones' throats now, regardless of the damned things not being anywhere near good enough now or likely ever. What we need is better driver training, education, and TESTING, including re-testing more often, and perhaps mandatory refresher education and training at regular intervals, regardless of driving record. This should most certainly include, and perhaps start with, any sort of 'commercial' driver, meaning Uber, Lyft, and similar drivers. That's the way forward, folks.
and then they can't be 1099'ers and must be w2 and even then they can't dock them under minwage. So at best fire / cut work hours of people who do it. But may lead to some on long ride just dumping someone at the site of the highway or speeding to get them home after an airport pickup so they don't hit 29+ hours an week.
Just try to do the speed limit on some roads you will get crushed by others doing 70+ in an 55.

APK lies all the time and hates it when someone speaks the truth about him.
Like how he claims the Chinese copied him but can't produce any evidence.
How about when he states that hosts does port filtering but again can't backup his statement which was shown to be false.
There is also his list of "experts" who support him but it turns out they don't say what he is claiming.
This also ignores his out of context quotes he uses to lie by omission.
The problem with APK is that his entire reputation is built upon the lie he told years ago that hosts is an effective security solution. It has been exposed numerous times as being a lie and when exposed APK fails to argue logically and instead will try to deflect criticism, change the subject, move the goal posts, return to a previously disproven statement, demand you prove you did better than his file concatenator, or just call people names. He will continue to lie by stating that he won or "dusted" you while failing to refute anything you said, will never provide real evidence, and generally try to dodge the issue.
Face it APK is one of the most detested individuals here for good reason. When ever his poor behavior, awful logic, over statements, and horrendous writing are called out he has a fit and has done so for years across the internet. He is a spammer, and is an abusive insecure little man who is washed up and never amounted to anything. Until he produces actual verifiable facts supporting his case nothing he says should be taken seriously.

One of the major purposes of government on the roads is to protect human life and ensure safety: even when doing so results in inconvenience for most drivers.
You don't get to vote to put other people's lives in danger, even if you are in the majority --- that is not how government works, And it is part of the reason we have representative governments not mob rule; the representatives are to recognize when the majority are in the wrong due to present-focus or other cognitive issues which entice people doing things against their own interests and help provide the regulation and enforcement to protect them anyways ---- In other words, if a majority of people speed at X, that calls for further changes to the road features to dissuade speeding or stronger enforcement of the speed limit to protect the safety of both the law-abiding minority and dissuade the violating majority, not changing the speed limit.
Disagree strongly. A democratic society or a representative society does get to vote on how much safety is enough when it comes to our shared space and shared resources like roads.
There city councils deal with speed limits in various places all the time. We could just make all interstate highways 25mph zones and probably all but eliminate collisions but that does not make it right - it makes it safe - but not correct.

The problem is that this has been tried and it does not work. Increasing speed limits tends to lead to people driving even fast.
Just because you are paranoid does not mean that no-one is out to get you.
Imperial fiat doesn't change behavior. An artificially low speed limit causes a much lather delta V between the people driving a reasonable speed and the people driving the speed limit.
