As a french person, I would be pretty upset to think my taxes are going towards paying people to order Ubers and make sure they take at least 15 minutes to arrive. It almost seems like something out of a Monty Python sketch.
- Crito 13y agoThat would be absurd. I expect that in practice this law will not be enforced by itself. For example: If Uber drivers start illegally parking in common pickup areas waiting for a call, then picking people up within seconds, then this law will probably be the sort of thing that they use to slam the drivers harder.
- mikeash 13y agoFor a parallel example in the US, law enforcement here routinely sends underage people to attempt to purchase cigarettes or alcohol, in order to ensure that merchants are following the law around ID checks. This strikes me as similar, for better or for worse. (I'd vote worse, personally.)
