But as a company who employs these drivers, shouldn't at least part of the onus be on them to ensure that their drivers meet these requirements? In the same way that Uber/taxi companies have to ensure that their drivers have a license, shouldn't they also have to make sure he had adequate insurance?
- stickfigure 13y agoDrivers are not employees of Uber. Before you say "that's just a technicality" consider also that freelancers are not employees of 99designs.com, freelancer.com, or crowdspring.com - even though that's how they negotiate and get paid for work. The idea of a clearinghouse for matching freelance drivers and customers is something new.

No, it is the job of law enforcement to enforce laws. Uber should fire drivers that are known to be breaking the law, sure, but requiring that they screen up-front for lawbreakers is the same as requiring drug testing or other such nonsense.
