RIDESHARE SAFETY STATISTICS:

80+ drivers killed since 2017 (OSHA 2024 Report)
24,000 alleged assaults reported in Uber internal documents
Drivers classified as independent contractors = minimal company protection
Most attacks go unreported due to lack of support

FOR PASSENGERS - BE RESPECTFUL:

Treat drivers with basic human decency
Don't get in drunk and aggressive
Never touch or threaten your driver
TIP - drivers make minimum wage while risking their safety
Remember: they're trusting you not to hurt them

FOR DRIVERS - STAY SAFE:

Invest in a dual dashcam (front + interior)
Trust your instincts - cancel rides that feel wrong
Never pick up passengers who refuse to verify identity
Report ALL incidents, even if companies don't respond
Know that you're classified as an independent contractor - the company won't protect you

If you're a rideshare driver with your own horror story, share it in the comments (but protect your identity).
