No surprise that stepping into a stranger's car to get driven from here to there could be dangerous. Good to know that there are things you can do to protect yourself. Next time I take a rideshare I'll be especially wary.

i think that we should check the licence plate check the car and the driver.

stab them with keys or a pen
ReplyDeleteAutomatically check the drivers license plate and make sure it matches before anything. Then make sure the face on your phone matches the driver. Lastly, open the door and ask for your name. Once they say your name, hop in. Just to be extra cautious, its always cool to be sharing your location with someone and let them know you're about to hop in an uber. If he doesn't know your name or says an incorrect name, slam that door and go about your day. BYE -hajar
ReplyDeleteThis has never happened to me because i make sure it is the right licence plate
ReplyDeletei think uber drivers are underappreciated
ReplyDeletecop a taser for self defense
ReplyDeletei am going to be aware of where the driver is always going and always trust my gut and the driver does not match then i will not go in the vehicle.
ReplyDeleteI always share the drivers information with my dad or my aunt so they know where i am or with who i am. i also check the plate before i go in the Card so i know that im with the "righ person"
ReplyDeletei would make sure everything about the driver matches up to the uber information
ReplyDeleteCheck his/ her plate before walking into the car. or even try taking a picture of it without he/ she looking. You can also check all the drivers information in your phone before entering car.
ReplyDeletewalk everywhere.
ReplyDeletecheck the license plate before you get in the car
ReplyDelete^
ReplyDeletefirst thing i see is the plates and make and color if its off i would just go back inside
ReplyDeleteI use a different name for my uber account and put my neighbors adress so that they don't know where I live.
ReplyDeleteI feel like if you get kidnapped as a guy your an idiot.
ReplyDeletecheck for the right driver and always check the car so that it matches the picture on the app
