Closed Make gig economy companies responsible for the conduct of all their riders

Closed on

We want the Government to implement legal reforms to make gig economy companies, such as Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat responsible for ensuring all their riders, including independent contractors, follow road safety laws.

We believe legal reforms will make our streets safer and free of dangerous gig economy riders. We think that some riders for gig economy companies are breaking road safety laws, such as by using illegally modified e-bikes, running red lights and mounting pavements. However, gig economy companies may not be liable for their conduct, particularly where the rider is an independent contractor.

We want to change this so that these gig economy companies can be held liable for their riders' conduct so our streets can be safer.
