Be on the phone
Take a phone call while in the car. Chat with a friend or family member. Reach out to one before your ride, stating, “I’m taking a ride alone. I would feel safe if we were on the phone. Can you be on the phone with me during this ride?” Arrange this in advance so you aren’t frantically trying to reach a friend once you’re already in the vehicle. Simply being on the phone can make a driver with bad intentions feel less confident about pulling something, knowing that there is a person on the other end of your call who will detect if something is wrong.
