Respectful Insolence-One more example of conservative antivaccinationism

Fri 06 Jun 2014 18:00:16 0000

The other day I expressed my disappointment at how Samantha Bee of The Daily Show got the politics of antivaccinationism wrong in a segment that was funny but promoted the stereotype of antivaccine activists as being mainly crunchy lefties. In that post I mentioned how the Texas Republican Party had a plank in its platformandhas8230

Cato Liberty-Virginia DMV Orders Uber and Lyft to Cease and Desist

Fri 06 Jun 2014 14:48 EDT

Yesterday the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles issued cease and desist letters to Uber and Lyft claiming that the companies which connect passengers to drivers via smartphone apps are in violation of Virginia law. In the letters DMV Commissioner Richard Holcomb wrote that Lyft and Uberandhas8217s ride-sharingAoperations aare not ridesharing arrangments as defined in Virginia lawa because drivers receive compensation for their services.

The Arlington County Police Department will be assisting in enforcing existing legislation although a spokesman said ait will not be a primary focus of our operations.a

In the wake of the cease-and-desist letters Uberas East Coast Regional General Manager Rachel Holt saidaWeare still operating as usual throughout D.C. Maryland and Virginiaa and Lyft said in a statement aWeandhas8217ve reviewed state transportation codes and believe we are following the applicable rules. Weandhas8217ll continue normal operations as we work to make policy progress.a

The Virginia DMV has previously fined Uber and Lyft 26000 and 9000 respectively however the recent letters say that the DMV will issue civil penalties of up to 1000 per violation to individual drivers caught breaking Virginia regulations.

The DMV letters are only the latest regulatory and legal hurdle that Uber and Lyft face. I have previously written on this blog about some of those challenges which are taking place across the country.

Rather than hinder the growth of innovative livery companies that are taking advantage of new technology lawmakers in Virginia and elsewhere across the country should consider repealing current taxi regulationsAthat restrict innovation strengthen established market players and stifle competition.

Uber and Lyft are popular for a reason: they provide a reliable and desired service at prices customers have indicated that they are willing to pay. In a fair and level playing field with fewer regulations their competitors would have to rely on improving their own services rather than on market-distorting legislation.

I discussed these issues with Caleb Brown on todayandhas8217s Cato Daily Podcast that you can listen to here:
