i would never use uber to get anywhere, either black taxi, or nowt.

I have never used Uber, always used local firms - pre booked and known to me.

If I lived in a large busy city I may have to alter my ways but would choose the safest I could.

I have reported a couple of drivers over the years , one for inappropriate behaviour and two for speeding (they can do that when I'm not in the car).

Everything we do has some risk involved, go the safest route you can.

I use the same taxi firm all the time. They recognise me by my phone number, this gives them my name and address an my regular destinations, Apart from one guy wanting to put Frankie in the boot (on way to Vet) they are usually really good.
