For those of you thinking about it to impress chicks...........

2 victims robbed at gunpoint after entering car they thought was their rideshare in DC | Fox News

Well, carry a gun. You know, DC has legal pot, no real firearms inside DC itself. Of course you would be targeted by a scum bag. They know you will not be able to defend yourself.

Not allowing ads so I cant read the article but - "they thought was their ride..."
Kind of sounds like they got into the wrong car.

Exactly. The scary thing is, I can see my wife or MIL doing this.

"but this just goes back to everybody being aware of their surroundings and making sure you verify what you’re doing prior to getting into one of these vehicles and again, trusting your instinct," Boteler told Fox 5.""

that's why I appreciate state to state carrying reciprocity laws. licensed in one state let,s you carry in others with a CPL of course.

I don't use Uber often, but I always check the license plate to make sure it matches what I see in the app.

Exactly and for that I like the front plate states as it makes it easy to see if this is your car as it pulls up. But if not, just walk around the back before doing anything. Uber even tells you to do this verify your ride. If it doesn't match, just keep walking.

It's an Uber requirement. Drivers who refuse to display a front plate can't drive for Uber. I think it's the same for Lyft.

Never used Uber. A lot of Uber drivers come for service at our shop. They are all total creepy people. The only time I ever needed a ride I hit up the taxi company.

What about the UBER lit sign in the windshield? Arent they supposed to have that too? Sorry but wth, check the vehicle first.

 

[Moparmadness68]

not sure if it's Uber or Lyft but one of them now sends a picture of the car and the driver to you before they arrive. I know in the early Uber days I never thought twice about jumping into the Uber but now times have certainly changed. sad

I thought you were telling us not to use our hellcats for Uber

Many do but not all. There was even supposed to be a day where your first name would display on the sign as the car pulled up but haven't seen that yet.

I haven't had too many bad rides in Uber but you do have to watch them as most are just average guys and gals and definitely not professional drivers.
