There is not much that can be done during the time of your trip besides politely asking them to stop or telling them that texting and driving makes you feel uncomfortable. If you feel very unsafe during your trip, you might be able to cancel your trip depending on the rideshare company you are using. Both Uber and Lyft have different terms when it comes to canceling a current ride. If you would like suggestions on how to handle the situation when you are in the vehicle, contact our team at Ovadia Law Group.
When your ride has been completed in El Portal, you should not wait to inform Uber or Lyft about the driver. You should look into reporting them for their unsafe driving behaviors. This will let the company know and put it on their record. It might help future passengers from this uncomfortable situation.
