Sit in the back seat
Be wary of a driver who asks you to sit in the front seat. There is no reason a driver should need you within arm’s reach. If a driver insists on this, cancel the ride, and report him. The safest place for you to sit is in the back seat, but not directly behind the driver. When you’re directly behind him, you can’t entirely see what he’s doing. Sitting diagonally across from, and behind, the driver keeps you out of arm’s reach, while still giving you a view of the driver’s activities (like if he hits “ride over” on the app before your drop-off has occurred).
