That just means that us law abiding insurance payers have to pay for all accidents had by people driving for Uber. That's just the way insurance works - the claims of the few are paid by the many.

Well like I also said I don't think that we should encourage a run of claims in that manner, but I think that the idea that thousands of people are going to be injured with no recourse is a little disingenuous as well. That's on top of the Uber coverage of $5M which has been brought up in this thread, so it's not like I suggest this as a first line of defence either.
Clearly I wouldn't suggest breaking the law as an option here. First and foremost buy the commercial policy and register the vehicle properly. But the fact is there is some recourse for a party suffering damages.
I do find it odd that we are the one city/province struggling with this though? Surely somewhere else has dealt with the insurance angle?
