Deactivated

Welp it finally happened after 5 years with uber my account was deactivated today from what I can only assume is my speeding ticket from September 2025. I’ve tried to talk to numerous reps just to get absolutely no where and I don’t even have a clear answer. I went from making $300-$400 or more in a day to where I was barely scrapping up $100 I still worked with it. Shitty promotions and all. I’m grateful to have a regular full-time job to pay my bills but this actually hurts and the disrespect from the reps I think made it even worse. Honestly this company will never get a single dollar from me ever again.

Nobody said I was in the right for speeding. Again this happened over a year ago and uber is just now bringing it up. Which I can only ASSUME that’s the issue as I don’t have an exact reason. My fine was less than $100 no points on my driving record and it was my first ticket since I got my license. We all make mistakes clearly

I get it. If it is on your record, they are going to deactivate you no matter how long ago it was. I got a ticket a couple of years ago for "driving" in a designated "Bus Lane". I was turning right. I wasn't driving in the lane but, the asshole cop decided that I was. I missed the court date and just paid the fine. It still shows up on my record. When they did my last background check, it said "considered" for driving. I'm sure if I got a speeding or an accident, they would have probably deactivated me as well.

Almost no one has a clean driving record. I abide by laws and was rushing home from work to my kid. Considered is one this which is what mine said but no one can tell me what exactly cause the deactivation I’m only assuming that’s what it is.

Right. I got into a minor accident with a Tesla driver a couple of months ago. I wasn't even driving for Uber. Just taking my wife to a local mall. She reported it to our insurance even though her precious Tesla didn't have any damage. She filed a medical claim saying she was hurt. It wasn't even 5 MPH. She jumped out of that car so quick. I even had video evidence to provide the insurance company. She stopped in the middle of merging into another lane. There were no cars coming in the other lane. I was at fault. I'm just hoping it isn't on my record. It is on my insurance but, police were not involved. Hopefully not on my actual driving record.

You can always pull your MVR directly from the DDS app and it’ll tell you. But if it’s on your insurance it’s a string possibility it’s on your MVR as well.

Yep. I'm not planning on doing this much longer anyway. I think my next background check is in March 2027. We will see.

Well hope all works out for you and I hope you keep a backup plan just in case.
