A comment on Uber will start deactivating riders with low ratings. Parent comment

I don't rate drivers. It's an unnecessarily self centred approach to what should be a uniformly acceptable service. I don't see why if I'm having a shitty day and a driver ticks me off that I should really have any impact over their ability to work.

I take the same approach. I don’t rate people.

One time I contacted uber when my driver got out of the car and punched a pedestrian. I still didn’t rate the driver. I just reported the incident. I also ended my ride when that happened. Hopefully he was arrested, but I didn’t stick around to find out.

I had drivers who were clueless about using a navigator, couldn't find my location on the map, drove crazily or made comments about random women walking in the street.

Still no rating?

Those are cases where you should also leave a note about the driver in the app, in addition to your rating (or non-rating).

I absolutely despise when drivers ask me the directions when their GPS is telling them right in their face.

That being said I've only ever rated a driver low once, and that was because that person probably should have never had a license to begin with.

Probably just tell him to sort himself out.
