Comment	I've seen this motor kicking about. It's (hopefully) only a matter of time before the enforcement unit catches them. Please speed up that process by sending this photo directly to them. I don't know how they are getting away with it. A driver's Uber account isn't active until they upload their licence docs and, believe me, Uber are super anal about the paperwork being in order. This means one of three things: a) They have uploaded docs for a different car and are running the Uber app in the wrong vehicle. b) This car is actually licensed and they are simply running it without the plates and required trade stickers. c) They are not even running the app and are 100% a "gypsy taxi" aka "pirate" and are taking passengers right off the street. Whatever the case may be, they are acting completely in contravention of the Civic Government Act. This then leads to them driving uninsured. Simply, anyone getting in this car, whether they think it's a legit Uber or whether they know they are climbing into a pirate wagon, the ride is 100% uninsured. DO NOT GET IN THIS CAR. I hope this cunt get caught and dealt with. It's completely out of order. It's putting passengers at great risk and it's dragging shade over the private hire industry; particularly bad news for Uber.
