Summary
After three months, he values Flex’s autonomy and £16–£18 hourly pay but resents the 24-hour weekly cap and scarce blocks. Vehicle finance, insurance, delivery cover, and charging cost £450–£500 monthly; a £1,500 best month leaves roughly £1,000 before repairs. Random routes produce unsafe parking, hostile encounters, potholes, restricted sites, and damage anxiety; he plans winding down before winter.
Insight
Flexibility is outweighed by capped income, vehicle risk, and escalating exposure to uncontrollable conditions.
