How does that work if you are drunk, otherwise incapacitated or raped ?

Pretty sure you are going to begging at that point for more regulation. You can't just throw the baby out with the bathwater here. Some regulations generally make the situation safer for everyone.

You mean raped and robbed, like the Brooklyn woman who entered a licensed NYC cab in February? Or raped and kidnapped, like the victim of licensed NYC cab driver Gurmeet Singh? Or maybe sexually assaulted while sleeping, like the passenger of licensed Chicago taxi driver Tajamul Syed?

No one said that regulations are going to make everyone perfectly safe all the time.

However, you cannot convince me that people will somehow be safer with no regulations.
