Is crash risk relatively high for taxi or Uber drivers?

Answer

Research into taxi crashes in 2001-2018 shows that the number of serious taxi crashes increased from 2015 to 2018, particularly in cities such as Amsterdam and Utrecht [27].Young taxi drivers do not prove to be overrepresented. A possibly higher risk for Uber drivers could not be determined. Uber taxis were included in the selected crashes, but the analysis could not distinguish between different types of taxi providers [27].
