Long driving hours, internal and external distractions, unfamiliar areas, and other factors contribute to the risk of car accidents under TNC’s.

Although, when a TNC has employed a driver with a criminal background, meriting ineligibility to work for the company, they must be held liable for placing customers in danger.
