What if I don't care if I'm insured while in an Uber? I don't want to pay for that shit.

  Then don't. Just walk. And never use public transport again. Or roads. Or any service that gets paid by taxes and fees.

    This has nothing to do with taxes. This is the German government thinking it's their responsibility to protect me from myself. It's arrogant and obnoxious. If I want to get into an Uber knowing I'm not getting any money if I get hurt, it's my prerogative.

      Somebody who wants to drive around without insurance calling others arrogant and obnoxious. You couldn't make it up.

        As a passenger I don't care if the Uber driver has insurance covering me and I should be able to choose to ride in one anyways.
    • Xylakant 12y ago
      No, this is the german population that requires that if your uber driver crashes into a bicycle rider (me) on the road, that I get paid for my injury. It's not about you, it's not arrogant that I want to be compensated if I get hurt and it's certainly not obnoxious.

        The article only refers to 'passenger safety' and how 'passengers may not be covered'.
        • Xylakant 12y ago
          Right. I implied from actually reading the source articles and injunction the more correct "Uber cars are usually in violation of their insurance terms and not covered at all." BBC is slightly off here.

  The insurance is not only relevant for the passenger, but also for anyone else involved in an accident with the Uber driver. You are legally obliged in Germany to have sufficient liability insurance, and if you are driving commercially and only have a private insurance, you are usually not covered.

  How about you participate in the political process and change the rules and regulations?
