Remain Vigilant and Be Pro-Active - When using overland transportation listening to music and interacting on your phone helps to make the journey a little more pleasant, however, this reduces your awareness and can cause distractions Travel Safety. If you are travelling with a rideshare company and decide not to follow your route, you may not see the early warning signs. For example, no traffic on the main route but your driver turns down a side street, or maybe takes you a different direction insisting they know a faster route. If you’re not paying full attention you may miss the signs.

Remain alert to your driver’s behavior and recognize if their mannerisms change during your transit, do they keep checking their phone; do they stop for longer than necessary when at a junction? The sooner you recognize something’s not right the more chance you have of reducing the threat.

You must priorities your security and be prepared to make difficult decisions in challenging situations. Have 911 (or a local equivalent) ready in your phone and if you begin to feel your driver is acting in an unsafe manner i.e. excessive speeding, driving through traffic lights, refusing to stop or being distracted, don’t waste any time, call for help. In extreme cases of personal safety and your driver starts to act inappropriately, phone the emergency number immediately and use any means necessary to get out of the vehicle before making your way to a safe location.
