I expect the majority of Uber drivers are good people, but that's because they are just good people, not because they are employed by Uber.
We need to be as sure as we can that our taxi drivers can be trusted, and that means carrying out checks before they are employed.
I had 3 teenage daughters at one point, I always told them to come home in a Black Cab after a night out, because that was the best way to be sure that they came home safely. That's not always possible, I know, for those that don't live in a big city, but the least we can expect from private cab companies is that they try their best to ensure that their passengers can travel in safety.
If Uber can prove that they are doing their best, then they will have their licence restored.
