>What regulations provide what safety precautions? I'm genuinely interested. Is it the case one could pick up a minor? If so, are there CRB checks done on the drivers? Taxi drivers need to pass an extra driving test to ensure an extremely high quality standard of driving. Does Uber do that? Regulations don't necessarily make things safer, they provide assurances to the public that a minimum standard has to be attained. For taxi companies, this standard is rather high. I'm not saying Uber don't go above and beyond these, I'm saying they aren't forced to.
