I have got two parking fine infringements by two different councils while picking-up pax. What the hell: P Now I have to pay parking fine that what i have earned.
How do you guys tackle this sort of issue? Pax want us to pick them from the location they in. Now I have got two infringements because of cheaper fares dammmmmmmmmmmmm
Do you reckon Taxi zone fine apply to UBer too? I mean we are providing taxi service, right?
My opinion, unfortunately, NO. We are operating under a private drivers licence. These are some of the things that need to be addressed in the Vic Government changes to the legislation and regulations.
The best we can do, legally, is park in the closest legal parking spot and then call the pax. I have done this many times and I have not had a complaint from the pax. Just say, 'sorry I couldn't get you from where you requested, this is the closest spot I could stop legally'. Most pax understand.
damm uber sucks they do not help with these. They pay cheap and not on driver side sucks .

Sorry to hear about the
Partners must follow the rules of the road as well as applicable traffic laws. You are responsible for resolving any incident that results from these violations, as we cannot assist with the payment of fees associated with moving or parking violations for your vehicle. All partners are independent contractors, meaning any fine or infringements received whilst you're online in the Uber app do not differ from when you are offline and using your own vehicle.
Whenever you found out or see that the pick up location is a no stopping zone, I suggest you to notify your rider before picking him up to move a little bit further from that area to avoid getting a ticket/citation. We are also educating riders about taxizones/bad pickup points. Good news is suggested pickup points is rolled out so riders can choose the good suggested pick up spots using this feature.
With nostopping/standing zones & seatbelts, partners must ensure their riders comply with the law - they need to be firm about this as it is their responsibility if they are fined. As a independent partner you are free to end the trip if you are feeling uncomfortable with rider presence and explain the reason.
Whilst we're unable to help financially, you may wish to check out this link which may assist you further as we are unfortunately unable to provide any legal or insurance advice.
Apologies for any disappointment and if you have further questions, don't hesitate to let me know.
It hurts me to defend Uber but really mate, you did the crime and you pay the fine! And please stop bringing out the old chestnut that it's Uber's fault that you break the law, that really gets to me
Every we complain they say if u feel uncomfortable cancel the trip and move on but they monitor and threaten us with high cancellation rate, damnn uber
No, deva don't be threatened, slowly muppets realising we r independent contractors, hence we have every right to call and cancel, when uncomfortable on profit as well
Ouch. It Adelaide on cup day compliance officers sat watched and photographed any number of Uber drivers picking up at the Morphetville races taxi stand. Not sure how much the infringement notices are worth but a number of cars photographed multiple times.

Opps. I just dropped off at the bus stop outside the aquatic centre at marion. I forgot and didn't look at the sign. A police officer pulled in behind me got out of his car and walked pass me to chat the driver who had parked in front of me. Maybe I was lucky.
I imagine Sara a little large to be sitting on my shoulder. Not that there's anything wrong with being a little large. I'm thinking maybe a bit like that cook Nigella.
Was an X trip. 2.1x ping, just ran out and took it lol. From the supermarket so knew it wasn't gonna be a corn. Which was good, wanted to stay near home.
Even then, only cars marked with "Courier" can stop/park in loading zones.
Not because of cheaper fares. Uber could have paid you your weight in gold per hour and yet you would cop the same fines for the same actions if caught.
Actually, in a no stopping area even a taxi would have copped a fine, they are not above ALL rules.
