Appalled at the @Uber incident!! If they didn't do an adequate background check of the driver they have no reason to operate anywhere!!!!

While most have been blaming the organisation for not having organised a thorough background check of its drivers, the company has come out with a statement. Calling Safety Uber's highest priority, the company condemned such an act and has vowed to provide assistance to the police in the investigations.
