Re: Uber drivers earn below minimum wage

I'm pretty sure the motorcyclist (or more likely scooterist) needs to have the appropriate insurance cover, which is probably commercial-level for deliveries. They almost certainly don't, and I don't know what the repercussions are for whom in the event of an accident, but I agree that a legal restriction would be prudent if there's evidence of a high accident rate amongst them — full clean license for x months or years, say. I'd expect the same on delivery drivers of larger vehicles, because newly-passed drivers aren't generally what you'd call good, though at least they've sat their theory.
