Plus, why should part-time drivers receive less training? There's no precedent where drivers can opt to take an easier driving test if they intend to drive less

Plus, why should part-time drivers receive less training? There's no precedent where drivers can opt to take an easier driving test if they intend to drive less on average. Why should there be a special Uber exception? That's cronyism.
- smokeyj 9y agoIsn't the point of a drivers license to certify that you're qualified to drive on the road? Why isn't that enough?
- Sacho 9y agoThe drivers license makes a cost benefit analysis skewed for general use(eg driving to/from work). The usage of a taxi driver is different - perhaps it merits a different type of training and licensing.
- _jal 9y agoIf you think removing restrictions for commercial drivers is sensible, that's something to pursue at the policy level. Making exceptions is exactly the wrong thing to do - you want a level playing field. As far as "why", commercial drivers are held to different standards for a number of reasons. I'm pretty sure you can think of some if you try.
- smokeyj 9y agoAll part-time drivers have to do is out-lobby the entrenched interests? That doesn't sound like a level playing field..
- pixl97 9y agoIt's not enough. That's why 20,000+ people die per year on the roads in the US.
- 27182818284 9y ago>why should there be a special Uber exception? That's cronyism. The exception seems to be going after Uber. Minivan school carpools, etc, have informally existed for a long time without requiring extra licenses.
- vkou 9y agoWere they done for profit? IANAL - yet I can offer legal advice without a license, but I can't represent someone in court, or be paid to offer legal advice without a license. If yes, do for-profit minivan school carpools exist in Montreal?
