Uber drivers are generally rude, if you ask them to slowdown or drive patiently they mess up with you. Worst part, when you call the safety line, all they give you is the fancy words, they hardly ever take any action on drivers. After a series of such instances, today, midnight, driver challenged my judgement when I asked him not to tailgate while driving between truck trailors. I called Uber safety-line from app, and driver refused to talk to the guy on other end. I felt so unsafe that I stayed online with the Uber representative rest of the trip. I decided to get off the cab nearby instead of my actual location, to avoid driver noticing my exact location and try to harm me in some way later. To my surprise, driver decided to chase me. Thank God there were some people around and I asked them to help, and together these 4 to 5 people were able to force him to take U turn.
The most amusing part comes now, guess what, Uber blocked my account.
I am happy to move away from Uber, because driver denying destination but refusing to cancel from his side, driver moving in wrong direction, unnecessarily delaying pickup after reaching nearby to attract waiting time, Uber making to pay for wait time even if it is below 3 min, are the other frequent issues I faced, and surprisingly this problem has increased since 3 to 4 months.
