    This is too bad, wish you the best. I already had a thought these apps are effectively decreasing safely of the cities for the profit, but haven’t experienced it myself…

      If it had be a local pizza place instead it would have been better? Safer?

      The problem here is a bad driver, not their employer / contracting app.

        Well yes, pizza delivery guys are pushed into the reckless driving too - some of the most absurd crashes I’ve seen involved them - however there is a big difference in the immediacy of the pushing. There’s a difference between your boss yelling at you to be faster once per day or a week and the app constantly pushing you with realtime feedback and ever changing incentives.
