A Wonderful Testimony

Maybe Uber

Should consider tabbing the hours these men and

Women work

Hear this fascinating testimony

God bless

Are you left or right

It's a question that arises surprisingly often among travellers, especially those considering renting a car. Which countries drive on the right and which drive on the left? Approximately two-thirds of the global population drive on the right side of the street. All in all, 163 countries and territories have right-hand drive traffic while vehicles use the left-side in 76 countries. 

The bulk of countries that drive on the left are former British colonies including South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Only four countries in Europe still drive on the left and they are all islands. They consist of the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Malta and Cyprus.

Driving with a difference

Dear dear reader

In this post I share something just interesting I came across

A driving school with a difference

Let's teach our young to drive with patience and care

For lives are there on the road

Stories backgrounds dreams aspirations emotions troubles

Are all busy maneuvering

A smile and a wave wouldn't hurt

We should do good at all times

Even when driving

God bless

It matters

Dear Life Drivers Training Parents,


After more than 30 years of working with teens in a variety of ways, I have realized that it's a gift I believe I have been given to work with teens and young adults.  Eight years ago, I found myself on a new path teaching teens and young adults how to drive.  I felt right from the beginning that I was able to impact teens through this oppprtunity to teach them to drive.

The name "Life" came to me as I listened closely to parents, friends and teens, themselves.  It is a word that is used so often to convey that which we feel is truly precious.  I'm proud of the times over the course of my life that I have been able to impact teen lives outside of teaching them how to drive.  Over the 35 years or our wonderful marriage, my wife Jodi and I have often enjoyed going out of our way to make a difference in the lives of teens.  Together, we have led many international mission trips.  God continues to lay this on my heart, to lead teens in a missions setting, but I have realized that right here in michigan I have a chance to impact hundreds of teens every year in a drivers training setting.  I have been honored to be able to teach so many teens to drive in the past, and I look forward to working with your teens in the very near future.

It is my goal to ensure that along with everything they learn about staying alive at Life Drivers Training, their learning will be filled with the strongest life values possible.  I will treat your teen as a young adult and show him or her that level of respect and patience.  They deserve as much, as the embark on the threshold of this brand new endeavor of responsibility - taking the first step in learning to drive.

Thank you for trusting your son or daughter to Life Drivers Training as they begin this journey.  Together we can accomplish this as an experience of life lessons they will carry with them for a lifetime.  I personally make this commitment to you and your teens:  "We Commit for Life."  This means that at any point, for any reason at all, we will be ther to drive with your teen for life!

Sincerely yours,  Ron Zuverink

Uber Stats

Uber by the numbers in South Africa, Kenya & Nigeria

By Hadlee Simons on 17 November, 2016HadleeSimons

• Uber tracks you all the time, so it knows a lot about you. It knows when you’re sleeping, it knows when you’re awake. It knows when you’ve been bad or good… You get the picture.

That means it must sit on a treasure trove of data and related insights, then. Fortunately, Uber South Africa’s Timothy Willis delivered some rather interesting numbers.

Uber had a number of intriguing stats to share at AfricaCom – now if only we could get our hands on all their data…

Willis also confirmed that UberPool didn’t have a launch date in South Africa yet.

“You have to reach a certain level of scale to launch Pool, just within the city. We’re not quite there yet but hopefully soon,” Willis told Memeburn.

Anyway, here are some of the standout numbers from the session…

38% – The top use case for Uber in Cape Town’s northern suburbs is shopping trips, representing over a third of all Uber trips. The data showed that Tyger Valley Shopping Centre was the most popular shopping destination beyond the Boerewors Curtain. Interestingly enough, Willis says that Uber was also able to identify call centres using the service to get their employees home late at night.

47 – The number of nationalities that have used the service in South Africa.

60 – Nigeria has us beaten though, as people from 60 different nations have used Uber in the country.

70 – Kenya believe that people from this many nationalities have used the service in Nairobi? That was a terrible pun.

75 – The number of countries that have Uber operations, with 475 supported cities.

75% – The revenue split in favour of drivers, according to Willis. “We ensure that 75% or more of every fare goes back into the driver-partner’s pocket,” he explained.

91% – The percentage of drivers who say that earning more income is the number one reason for them joining Uber, according to a poll last year. 87% of Uber drivers polled said that their number one reason was to be their own boss and set their own schedule. 85% of polled drivers were looking for more flexibility and to balance their home/work lives.

1000+ – The firm claims that 1000 “economic opportunities” were created in Nigeria and Kenya each since launch. It forecasts over 3000 more for Nigeria in the next year.

4000+ – The smart cab service claims that, since launching in South Africa in August 2013, it has enabled over 4000 “economic opportunities”.

8000 – The number of employees it claims to have worldwide. If a recent UK court battle is anything to go by, then you could argue that the number is actually 1.5 million (the number of active Uber drivers).

100 000+ – This is the number of “potential riders” opening the app in Kenya each month. The service hit the country in January 2015.

2 000 000 – Uber says that it enabled two million trips in South Africa last year.
