Many people have heard of news stories about Uber or Lyft trips gone bad. This seems to be increasing as the applications grow. Many wonder why there are no more safety precautions to protect them and their loved ones. They need a simple ride but that one ride could leave someone seriously injured or potentially in danger.
So in this article, some tips will be provided to stay safe when taking an Uber or Lyft in Cooper City. Many people know the basics, such as confirming the license plate and the vehicle, but there are other steps to protect your safety before entering the vehicle. When entering the vehicle, be cautious and ask who the driver is picking up, even if the license plate and vehicle match. Any individual should also make eye contact with the driver of the vehicle and see if anything seems off or weird about their body language.
These may seem like simple and innocent conversation starters but the driver could have underlying intentions by asking them. If you decide to answer you could try to change the subject or provide simple answers. You could always inform them that someone is waiting for you at your location or that your friends or family have your location. This may help with your safety while taking an Uber or Lyft in Cooper City.
When you arrive at your destination you could take precautions such as being dropped off down the street or a few houses down from your house or apartment. This will not allow the driver to see where you live if they decide to write it down or come back later.
