Dozens of illegal Uber drivers caught in NZTA stingsSUPPLIED Uber launched in Christchurch in March. Once Uber stopped requiring its drivers to follow the law, enforcement action was inevitable, said New Zealand Uber Drivers' Association chairman Ben Wilson. He said many new Uber drivers did not know they legally needed an endorsement because Uber did not tell them. Scores of Uber drivers have been caught driving illegally in government stings targeting the global ride-sharing giant. "This is illegal, and we have made that clear to Uber, to the public and to potential Uber drivers," said NZTA group manager for access and use Celia Patrick.
