A German court has banned Uber drivers from working without a license

A German court decided to prohibit the use of the Uber service to drivers who do not have a taxi driver's license. For each violation of the company will have to pay a fine of € 250,000. It was in this way that a panel of three judges expressed their support for local taxis. Uber said they would continue to provide services by licensed taxi drivers and limousine drivers. The company is developing add-ons to the service that will help it work in the context of German law.

Attacks on the service happen with enviable periodicity. Prior to this, the company has already faced lawsuits in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Spain. French police only this week searched the Paris offices of the company and confiscated a large number of mobile phones, computers and documentation. Reid was associated with claims about the company processing personal data of users. Local authorities often blame the service for illegal taxi services. The company objects to this, that it does not provide transportation services for people, but only provides an Internet service for searching.

Often, local taxi associations unite against service in different countries. The trial in Germany began after the local operator Taxi Deutschland appealed to the court. Cases and illegal protests have become more frequent - Uber drivers' cars are blocked and sometimes openly attacked. In January, in France, near the airport, taxi drivers broke glass, crushed the hood and cut tires at a car belonging to the driver Uber.
