From what you are saying, probably a lot safer in the UK than the US. As far as I am aware they carry no more than ￡10 in loose change.



Most of the time when you order by phone payment is done by a debit or credit card. In towns they all use mopeds because they mostly use kids because you can ride a moped at 16 here.



Most of the time it's a pretty safe job. Very seldom you see anything in the press involving fast food deliveries. Yes OK there is the odd road accident and you do get the odd mugging but that is mainly in really rough areas in the big cities.



If an area has a really bad reputation they just wont deliver there in the first place. Also most places wont deliver after 11 pm or midnight.



In the town I live in I can't ever recall seeing an incident involving fast food delivery in the press and the last accident was over five years ago involving a moped.Fast food delivery people (UK).?
Here in the US it is really only dangerous due to bad driving, not the job itself. And its ranked as #9 ( http://money.howstuffworks.com/10-most-d…



Oddly enough, its also on the list of most dangerous jobs in the UK, found here:

Lorry and Commercial Drivers





If you think that long-distance lorry drivers or sales reps have it easy, sat behind the wheel all day driving the length and breadth of the country, think again. Road accidents are the number one killer of workers in the UK, with work vehicles involved in over 54,000 crashes every year, or 150 per day, according to the GMB.



“Long hours of working drivers, a lack of regular breaks and unnecessarily tight deadlines all lead to dangerous driving conditions in many occupations,” says John McClean, GMB national safety officer. This was evidently the case in 2001 when a driver fell asleep at the wheel of his Land Rover and careered off the M62 at Selby onto a railway line, causing the deaths of 10 people and 76 injuries as the train ploughed into his car and derailed.



The GMB estimates that 1-in-4 of all road fatalities involve a driver whilst at work.Fast food delivery people (UK).?
