 I don’t know where you have been. But here in Argentina for example you need the client of the Uber in the front seat as if he/her is your friend or family. If the clients is in the back, then you are a driver, and you need special license, special permissions and other things. It’s not cultural, it’s the shitty government all over again 
 Makes sense. I enjoy getting the high five at the end too 😂 https://primal.net/e/note1mrxhncc87g47g67rtjqhhuxwxu2qwcsn4c08xxynw83qy6fk0x0qa8yqcn 
 This was my experience too it was less cultural norms and more fear of gov that did it 
 Yes! I was an Uber driver for 2 weekends to make some quick cash. About 6 years ago. Now they are relaxing the rules to drive passengers. Viva la libertad CARAJO!

Taxi drivers literally destroyed cars if they thought they were used for Uber, So, regulations or rules aside, it was not a good idea back then to have the passenger in the back. 
 Yeah wow scary stuff 
 This is my country! Haha how about yours? Where do you live? 
 I’m here in the US but lived in Brazil for a while
