“A court in Frankfurt has ruled that Uber cannot operate in Germany due to a lack of adequate insurance for these types of private drivers, as well as expensive licensing.

Low-cost UberPop drivers found to continue operating could face fines up to 250,000 euros per trip, though Uber says they intend to keep them running through the ban.

Uber has remained confident that their insurance applies to drivers, and fully intends to appeal this preliminary injunction.” 

Uber is challenging the norm and is causing great upset with traditional taxi services. But it is a clever idea and will succeed.
