Uber drivers have to drive well else they'll be reviewed poorly.

Are they though? I took a good few Ubers who had great ratings but were terrible drivers.

The incentive is to get as fast from point A to B and it's having an effect.

I ride a motorcycle to and from work everyday.

In terms of quality of drivers respecting other cars: regular car drivers > taxi drivers > Uber drivers.

Uber drivers are the worst to drive near to. They do all sorts of stupid things like pull over in spots where they SHOULD not, all to pick up or drop off passengers.

I see it time and time again. They prioritise their customer over the road rules and respect for other vehicles.

Taxi drivers also drive faster than Uber drivers, who seem to enjoy sitting well under the speed limit.

That's the same for both Uber and taxi drivers.

Taxis usually don't have surge pricing which can end at any moment.

Also they usually charge you based on the distance actually travelled, not a predetermined price so they can afford to make detours.
