[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a middle aged business lady with a 4.95 rating. Recently it seems as though all of my drivers are just not very good - not paying attention, swerving into lanes and almost creating a crash etc.

Is there a way to specifically request top drivers? I have tried using black car which is usually better. I would be willing to pay extra for UberX if I knew I was getting a top driver. [/quote]
I asked this upthread (for a DD living off campus at an urban college).  Basically, no.  [/quote]

The downward trending quality of your recent drivers is due to many (sometimes good/great) drivers quitting to go get a real job as the economy is steadily improving across the area. The dirt-cheap rates are crushing lots of drivers out of the game, both good and bad. Many people are driving uberX nowadays because it's only the only job they're qualified enough to do.  It takes practically zero skills...be alive and follow GPS commands safely, and safely is a struggle for some.

When requesting, it's luck-of-the-draw with the closest driver getting it.  It's been debated on whether or not "power" uber users (10+ rides per week) get better drivers/cars when one is conveniently available, but the jury is still out on that.  Feel free to be choosy when requesting and cancel immediately on cars you don't like or drivers with ratings below 4.8, and then try again.  And yes, an uberBLACK is just going to be a better ride almost guaranteed...you get what you pay for.[/quote]
