| Comment | Firstly, nobody is saying we shouldn't clamp down on those things too. If you're complaining about this subreddit, there's shitloads of threads about dangerous driving.
Secondly, I absolutely agree on the plight of delivery riders. Ubereats/Deliveroo etc *only* exist as profitable businesses because they flout regulations at all levels. They should be completely barred from operation in the UK, and it's likely only a matter of time before that happens.
Lastly, prior to those companies coming to this country, do you think we never had takeaways deliveries? Before they started the race to the bottom, did we not indeed have plenty of gainfully employed delivery motorbikers and car drivers, employed on a retained basis with expensed mileage that covered all the costs you state?
So I think we entirely agree on the problems - but the solution to me is applying the laws of the land until these companies fuck off, not to further erode e.g. pedestrian safety to help them tan riders and consumers for ever increasing profit margins. |
