    No. That driver needs to resubmit the claim to the correct insurance.

    From Your Fing Article:

    WHAT UBER SAYS

    Though most Uber drivers don’t carry commercial insurance, they’re required to have personal auto insurance to be a driver, said Uber spokesperson Susie Heath in an email.

    More importantly, they’re covered by Uber’s commercial insurance policy when they drive for the app.

    Uber rides are backed by $5 million to cover bodily injury and property damage, which is over double the requirement for taxis in London, Heath said.

    “Riders, drivers and the community at large can rest assured knowing they are also covered by our commercial policy in addition to coverage maintained by the driver.”

    Heath wouldn’t comment on Alam’s specific case, but said that “all UberX rides are insured with liability coverage. Our insurer reviews these claims and we’re committed to helping drivers understand the resolution process.”

    So, the question is, why isn't he submitting the claim to the Uber commercial insurance company that he is covered by when driving passengers?

    Um, Tawfiqul Alam should have been using Uber's commercial insurance policy that they offer, Aviva is apparently morons as they are dropping people for non commercial policies that are used in non commercial times (otherwise it is Uber covering the incident).

    You haven't actually disagreed with me in a single point. Where do you show that Uber does not carry commercial policies as they state that they do? It seems you are just pointing out people doing what people do, which is do stupid shit.

    If you drive your car in a commercial situation sometimes, and your car is covered with a commercial policy at those times, why should your personal insurance company drop you when your car is not being driven commercially? This makes no sense, the cars are not commercial vehicles, and are covered by commercial policies when they are being used for commercial purposes, so there is no issue with the personal policies except when someone apparently tries to use the wrong policy in the wrong situation.

    I guess I need to reiterate, Uber carries commercial policies on their drivers:

    There are no uninsured Uber cars carrying passengers, that is covered by a policy, and personal insurers dropping people off their policies is more of a sign of a misunderstanding than an issue with Uber.

    Start working on changes in the local government. If there are no good candidates, run yourself. Local politics don't take as much time or money as federal, but can change things for the better. Also, the pay is pretty decent for the amount of work expected of you.

    Yes, there is. Selective breeding is incredibly imprecise, and genetic engineering is much safer. With genetic engineering, you are editing exactly the gene you mean to, with selective breeding you get poisonous Lenape potatoes and other incredible failures of agriculture.

    Columbus was looking for a route to India, as the world appeared to be spherical, it was not unreasonable to suspect that there would be a route to be found by travelling west.

    Yes, while that is true, the common knowledge was that India was too far away, which is why Columbus had funding issues. If he had not run into America, his crew would have starved to death. Back then, they had a pretty good estimate of the circumference of the Earth, and knew that a trip in that direction to reach India was too far to make with the ships of the day.
