I saw a post on Reddit at the time of this incident, from someone who claimed to be a former Uber backup driver. The claim was that Uber was too strict with regards to cell phones, and that if you were caught interacting with your phone while on the job you were immediately terminated.

I'd like to know how true this is, and if there is a better source for this claim.

Why is that too strict? Distracted driving is rapidly becoming the biggest problem for MVCs.
