You are standing outside a busy campus venue waiting for your ride home. A car pulls up to the curb, and the driver rolls down the window to call your name.
You look at your phone to verify the ride details before opening the door.
Which of these is a warning sign that you should not get into the car?
- The driver is playing a popular pop song on the radio.
- The license plate and car model do not match what is shown on your app.
- The car has a small air freshener hanging from the rearview mirror.
Recommended
The license plate and car model do not match what is shown on your app.
If the vehicle, license plate, or driver details do not match your booking, do not get in. A driver might offer a convincing explanation or try to rush you, but you do not owe them a debate. Stay outside the car and use your app to cancel the ride. Arrange another ride from a place with other people nearby. If someone tries to force you into a vehicle, call 911 first.
Your next step
Cancel the ride in your app and move to a well-lit area near other people to request a new one.
