Uber: Unlicensed and uninsured drivers carrying passengers in London

On 25 November 2019, the London transport authority suspended Uber from operations in the British capital for the second time since 2017. The ride-hailing company is accused of exposing its passengers to danger for lack of safety.

Indeed, a failure in the computer system of the American giant allowed drivers without licenses or insurance, to replace drivers and carray passengers. This incident took place 14 000 times in just a few months. The London regulator says Uber is irresponsible and no longer deserves to operate. The California-based company intends to appeal and continue operations until a final decision is made.
