You really don't think that Uber should do any background check, such as whether their drivers have suspended license?

The license could have been suspended after the driver had passed Uber's background check.

I don't believe you expect uber to run background checks every week/month on tens of thousands of drivers.

And most states don't have an API to run periodic driver license checks

I'm totally anti-Uber, but this could have happened with a taxi too. Actually, it is not strange (at least here where I live) for taxi drivers to do illegal stuff while driving the city.

And although I understand the OP situation, his "problem" is with society, not Uber. Shit happens.
