Can Uber driver cancel a long trip?

A rider has anywhere from 2–5 minutes (varies by market) before they are charged a cancellation fee. Some drivers will accept the trip and wait before they start to drive to the pickup location to ensure their rider really needs a ride. Put yourself in the drivers shoes for a moment.
