It's a matter of perspective.

It looks a lot more insane when you're paid well enough to outsource those behaviors (and liability) to whoever's driving your Uber.

It's like when a company makes a statement about supporting a living wage and contracts out its janitorial services who pay anything but.

I don't understand what you're driving at.

It's easy to bitch about people not following the letter of the law when you're not spending 45min in a rush hour commute every day and the benefit of not following the letter of the law is not tangible to you.

On the contrary, I'm a lot more uptight about it when I drive frequently, because I eventually get tired of people nearly killing me or breaking my stuff because they can't be bothered to put the least bit of effort into their driving.

Oh, I see. Yeah, I don't miss driving to work.
