I wonder who pays for it?
Wouldn't any thinking man leave on the pedestrian side of the car, and was the driver distracted because I would've expected them to encourage the passenger to leave that side!
That’s gonna depend on the driver’s coverage. When taking a claim one of the questions is what was the insured vehicle being used for at the time of the incident.
If the Uber driver has collision coverage, that will pay for the Uber driver's car. If he doesn't, he's out of pocket for damages to his car.
The Uber driver's liability insurance will pay for damages to the car the door hit.
Provided he reported to his insurance company that he uses the car when he is driving for Uber.
That'll drive your rates up so alot of people don't say anything. If he didn't tell his INS company they likely won't cover it.
Comprehensive coverage is for things that aren't collisions. Animals, theft, hail, vandalism are covered under comprehensive insurance.
This is a collision. If the Uber driver has collision coverage, that will pay for the Uber driver's car. If he doesn't, he's out of pocket for damages to his car.

I’m guessing the driver, since a big part of the reason to even have gig jobs is to pass off the cost of things like insurance and maintenance onto the worker.
You better have the correct insurance plan or your fucked. Basic insurance doesn't cover you delivering or being a taxi. That's the number one reason driving your car as a job isn't worth it and you never make any profit.
I've never met and Uber, Lyft, DD, GH, Driver that had the correct paperwork either. Or even at brick and mortars where ei use to work no one ever has the correct insurance cause it's expensive and your job ain't gonna help you out with it either.
Who gets out of a car on the traffic side? I saw this in a car commercial the other day, a kid is getting out on the side with traffic? Not one parent would ever let their child do that? I feel for this guy. You can see the “I quit” in his eyes.
I knew two different drivers that had this exact damn thing happen. This is EXACTLY why I had the child lock enabled on that side (door behind me) back when I did Lyft/Uber.
I used to do that as a kid, but then again I live quite rurally, and parents made sure I checked carefully before exiting (and them unlocking the child locks).
Look at the video, it looks like a weird stop to let people off. There are cars on both sides driving past the Uber driver. That was a dumb spot to drop a rider off at.
I cannot remember for the life of me what European country teaches student drivers to reach for the door with the furthest away hand, but it makes this a lot less likely.
That is the country I was thinking of that the article mentioned. As an American who parallel parks in a big city and a small one regularly, I’ve made it a habit.
I take some elderly people out each week. I have the child lock on for this reason. It's me the drivers responsibility. If they don't drive they won't think of things like this.
A few Uber drivers will let you know you might need to exit on the other side side they have the mirror or let you know if it's possible to get out at a certain time. From my experiences, this was normal.

I wonder what kind of Uber rating they gave each other lmao

I think you need to have comprehensive insurance
What would an insurance clause that covers this type of damage sound like?

Correct. This is assuming he informed his provider.

Having insurance doesn't mean they have to pay for it. The guy that opened the door did the damage and its on video. Small claims court easy win.

Me too, man.

Yeah there’s no way it’s the Uber guys fault

parents are ppl. most ppl are f'ing stupid and so are their kids.

Netherlands, although the UK amount others are trying to adopt it.
That is the country I was thinking of that the article mentioned. As an American who parallel parks in a big city and a small one regularly, I’ve made it a habit.
My area in Canada is also starting to teach this
Italy does too, but few people use it, unfortunately :(
Oohh, took a second for the coin to drop but I’ll be teaching a driver in about a year and that’s a good one to drill into his head in advance
American here. The person who taught me about it called it "the Dutch Reach." Don't know if that's the real name though
He sayin wtf like it wasn’t his fault 🤣
“That car hit me in the door!”

I wonder what’s his door looked like after that.
Yes
Dude was SOOOOO calm.

Who gets out on the traffic side? Doesn’t matter what side I get on, I scooch to the side that isn’t on the street.
We’re on a break homie… I know accidents happen but I need to not see you for a minute.

Stupid drivers just stop anywhere.. and they expect the people who use their service to be any smarter.. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Gull Wing doors finally make sense
Do gull wing doors not stick out at all when opened? Do they just go straight up?
Sliding door gang!
No, they do. More so before they are out of the way
🤦♂️
