Due to the simple procedure the applications give for its passengers, this is often used. However, those who choose to use Uber or Lyft in Florida should always adhere to a set of guidelines they have established to ensure that the driver is who they claim to be and that they will reach their location. When using rideshare services, our team of personal injury lawyers at Ovadia Law Group would suggest a few precautions if the driver appears approachable.
Some users of ride-sharing applications report having fantastic experiences, especially when the driver has a high star rating and seeks to make the passenger as comfortable as possible. Some passengers receive a charger for their smartphones, have the opportunity to continue listening to their music for the duration of the ride, are given sweets or snacks, and have the option of adjusting the car’s temperature. These are generous and kind drivers, but you still need to be careful. You should never take food, candies, or drinks from these drivers even if they may put on a particular façade to fool you. Please call someone if you believe you may have eaten something that made you feel weird or made you forget portions of the trip. Our team at Ovadia Law Group can be reached at 1-800-674-9396.
They may just desire privacy or to go to their destination without bothering you. Due to their attention being on the road, this may also give you a feeling of security. But as a passenger, this isn’t granting you permission to spend the whole trip staring at your phone. You should make sure to keep an eye on the time and the route you are driving on. You might wish to let the driver know that someone is waiting for you at your destination or that someone is following your whereabouts, such as your parents or friends, if the street is unfamiliar to you or the journey seems to be taking too long. Contact our experts at Ovadia Law Group if your Uber or Lyft driver made you feel uneasy with their comments, actions, or dangerous driving.
