You have to love the IL legislature. The moment one of their donating constituencies (Taxi association) feels threatened, they’ll drop everything and create more regulation to protect it.
Can they get together and do a damn thing about the biggest threat to the long-term economic health of the state, their multi-billion dollar unfunded pension liabilities? Nah.
I think the end goal is to legislate UberX – private drivers using personal autos. From what I have read Uber and UberBlack, which use Livery vehicles, are not under fire…yet.
I am an UberTaxi driver in Chicago, and attended a info/signup session for UberTaxi drivers to switch to doing UberX in their personal cars. Here’s what we were told:
A)That the driver’s personal car insr is the PRIMARY insurance for UberX.
B)That UberX DOESN’T ALLOW it’s drivers to carry commercial insr.
C)That ALL claims involving UberX drivers, passengers or a third party would be filed with the drivers insurance.
I pointed out that my personal car insurance EXCLUDES RIDE-SHARING. And when I asked if Uber could tell me of any insurers that would allow me to work as an UberX driver, they just evaded the question by saying that Uber didn’t make insurance recommendations! Huh?
Don’t the regulators, insurance industry, reporters, UberX drivers and the riding public see this glaring catch 22? Is UberX inducing and perpetuating insurance fraud? Or am I missing something?
