Another day. Another ride. Another story.
Stories like this are always difficult to read as drivers. Situations like this remind all of us how important situational awareness is while working rideshare.
One habit I have developed is trusting my instincts before starting a ride. If something feels off when a passenger approaches the vehicle, I do not hesitate to cancel and move on.
Curious what safety habits other drivers here rely on during late night rides or in unfamiliar areas.
