Many people use this due to the easy process the applications offer for their passengers. But people in Florida who decide to Uber or Lyft should always follow certain steps they have created to see that the driver is who they say they are and that they will get to their destination. At Ovadia Law Group our team of personal injury attorneys will offer a few steps when using rideshare applications when the driver seems personable.
Some people have wonderful experiences with rideshare apps, particularly when the driver has a high star rating and aims to make the passenger feel as comfortable as possible. Some people are offered a charger for their phone, allowed to play their music for the remaining time of their trip, offered snacks or candies and are allowed to control the air temperature of the car. Even though these drivers are outgoing and generous, you should still be alert. They may present a certain front to throw you off, but you should always be hesitant when accepting food, candy or drinks from these drivers. If you feel you may have eaten something that has caused you to feel off or forget some of the trip please contact our team at 1-800-674-9396.
Despite these very pleasant Uber or Lyft drivers, not all drivers are warm and welcoming. They might just be kept to themselves or want to complete the trip and not bother you. This could also make you feel somewhat safe due to them focused on the drive. But as a passenger this does not mean you get to just stay on your phone, looking down for the entire ride. You should make sure to at least occasionally glance at the road being driven on and the time. If you do not recognize the street or the time seems to be taking too long you might want to inform the driver that someone is waiting for you at your destination, or that someone is tracking your location such as your parents or friends. If your Uber or Lyft driver has made you feel uncomfortable in terms of certain remarks, behavior or they were driving recklessly contact our team at Ovadia Law Group.
