My Costly Mistake



Some mistakes that uber drivers make

Some mistakes should learn from other drivers instead



It was just another night fetching a young couple to their destination, however, I didn't expect it to be a costly one.

While we were reaching the destination by following Uber Map, I was directed to a narrow lane just right before Park Lane. This narrow lane is known as Kirk Terrace. 




It was an up slope drive and after a while, I saw a gantry. Without much hesitation or reading at the gantry price list (as I assume there will be at least 10 minutes grace period). To my shocking surprise, after dropping off the young couple just right after the gantry (who also doesn't seem to know that they have already arrived 15 Sophia Road) and immediately exit the gantry which literally all happened in less than 30 seconds, $5 plus was been charged to my cashcard.

Ouch~! Never again I will go to that narrow lane. Somehow I just feel that the place is like a booby trap which lead you all the way to the blood sucking machine.

So drivers out there, please take note!

What you gonna do after Uber is gone?

Life without Uber soon During Friday's night on the 5th May 2018, I drove Uber for more hours than I did in my whole journey with UBER. I started ubering at 8pm till Saturday 6th May 2018, 12pm. I knew I was going a bit crazy......... till the point that the uber's driver app prompt me to perform a selfie for verification. I was lost, I didn't really know what I should do after Uber's gone on the 7th May 2018. Some of my passengers, they were concerned. Most of them asked me, what you gonna do after Uber is gone? Especially this one Caucasian guy from Bulgaria , he asked me during the trip, "I heard there will be no more Uber in Singapore after 7th May 2018, so what are you going to do?" "I'll go sweep the floor." Jokingly I said. But seriously, I said that because I don't really have an answer for that question. For the past years, I thought I found my freedom with UBER , however, I didn't expect i

Private Hire Car Driver's Vocational Licence (PDVL)

PDVL EXAM Yesterday 29th January 2018, I just took my PDVL exam. I was very nervous as I told myself I do not want to waste time and money to retake again. Therefore, just one day before ( which was Sunday) the exam, I studied real hard. I studied all the highlighted portion (which our trainer, Ken told us to highlight) and also did the online mock papers . As I was told by someone that there are total 4 sets of paper per exam , so in order for me not to miss out any of those, I did multiple times of revision online . Basically, the online platform which you can do your PDVL exam revision is @   TP Tests   and the PDF copy of   the FAQ private hire car driver's vocational licence commencement can be found here . One of the methods as told by our Purely Uber Drivers Group Chat member for Paper 2 revision is to try to practise till you get perfect score consistently because it is all about factual stuffs (demerit points, fine, suspension or revoked et

Our Tampines Hub

I still remember the last time I was waiting for a Uber pool passenger for way more than 2 minutes and cancel the ride after he refused to turn up. Never did I expect that I will be here again just within a few weeks time, but this time round searching for UberX passengers. Do you know the name of this place? Yes, this place is known as Our Tampines Hub . So as usual, I would follow Uber Map and not surprisingly Uber Map brought me to the same location as previous which is just right after a small round about before going into the carpark . As I didn't see the rider, I messaged and called the rider "Hi Madam, I have arrived. May I know where are you?" "I saw your car moving please stop!" said the passenger.  Immediately I knew that she saw the wrong driver, I was stopping along the roadside and didn't move at all! "Madam, I think you saw the wrong car. Tell me where are you and I will be right there." I said.
