Rideshare tips for keeping yourself safe
The following tips can help to keep you safe during rideshare situations.
- Be alert and pay attention to your surroundings. It’s a good idea to have your own map of where you’re going too.
- Make sure that someone close to you always knows where you are meeting and where you are heading.
- Don’t get to personal with your driver, or the person that you are riding with. Never share personal information.
- Sitting in the back seat is a good idea.
- Carry SABRE’s Safe Escape 3-in-1 Automotive Tool.
