You would think, if you were being honest about it, that you could build into your app a "checkin at my garage" function that would allow you to prove that after each fair your driver followed the law and went back to their garage.
- ryanlol 11y agoOr you could just pay the tax for not following the law. I don't see how disobeying the law is any more dishonest than following it, the courts are going to tax you for it but as long as you pay there shouldn't be any problems.
- protomyth 11y agoSo, as long as I have the cash, breaking the law isn't an issue for you?
- ryanlol 11y agoThat's the point of fines, you pay what is essentially a tax for your behaviour. Morality is a whole different thing, I for one don't find it immoral for a driver to pick up passengers without stopping at the garage first. Anyway, it's called civil disobedience. I'd have though HN would be the last place to condemn that.
- maus42 11y agoBecause of these people, sensible countries adjust the amount of fine based on the wrongdoer's income.
- ryanlol 11y agoWhich I would assume France is also doing.
- adevine 11y agoThis law is beyond stupid. So if the driver drops off a fare, and then checks their app, and immediately sees a request for a ride nearby, instead of going to pick up that rider, they have to go BACK to the garage?
- legulere 11y agoYes, because they're not allowed to offer a taxi service. If they want to do that, they have to follow the regulations of taxi services. But that's not in uber's interest, because they want a monopoly on the market.
