In the modern era of technology and convenience, ridesharing services like
Uber and Bolt, have become integral to our daily lives. However, ensuring safety while using such services is paramount.
SAFETY MEASURES:
Verify the Driver and Vehicle:
Before getting into the vehicle, verify that the vehicle and driver match the information provided in the app.
Check the license plate, make, model, and colour of the car, as well as the driver's name and photo.
Ensure that the child lock is not engaged.
Share Trip Details:
Utilise the service provider’s feature to share your trip details with a trusted friend or family member.
This allows them to track your journey in real-time and provides an additional layer of security.
"Live Location":
Always activate your cell phone's "live location" feature and share it with a trusted family member or friend.
Inform them when you are expected home.
Wait Indoors for Your Ride:
Wait indoors for your vehicle to arrive, especially during late hours.
This minimises the time spent outside and reduces the risk of encountering potentially unsafe situations.
Check Driver Ratings and Reviews:
Prioritise drivers with high ratings and positive reviews.
This indicates a track record of safe and reliable service.
Sit in the Back Seat:
Always opt to sit in the back seat of the vehicle.
This provides distance and a clear view of the driver, enhancing your safety and comfort.
Wear Seatbelts:
Regardless of the distance of your ride, always wear your seatbelt.
Seatbelts significantly reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
Remain Vigilant Throughout the Ride:
Stay alert during the journey and be mindful of your surroundings.
If you feel uncomfortable or sense any red flags, trust your instincts and consider ending the ride early.
Avoid Sharing Personal Information:
Refrain from sharing unnecessary personal information with the driver.
Stick to discussing general topics and avoid disclosing sensitive details.
Keep Emergency Contacts Handy:
Have emergency contacts saved on your phone and easily accessible.
In case of any emergencies or unforeseen circumstances, you can quickly reach out for assistance.
Utilise In-App Safety Features:
Familiarise yourself with the service provider's in-app safety features, such as the emergency assistance button.
This allows you to directly contact emergency services if needed.
Provide Feedback:
After completing your ride, take a moment to provide feedback on the driver and overall experience.
This helps maintain quality standards and improves safety for all users.
If possible, share the ride with a trusted friend.
Safety should always be a top priority when using ridesharing services. By following the comprehensive safety measures outlined in this guide, passengers can minimise risks and enjoy a safe and secure ride experience.
Remember, proactive precautions and awareness are key to ensuring a smooth and worry-free journey.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook. This retaliation happens on social media and creates doubt about our integrity and ability. Doubt created on social media platforms is both unwarranted and untrue. We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.
STANDARD RULES APPLY: Upon appointment, we require a formal mandate with detailed instructions. Please take note that should you not make use of our services – you may not under any circumstance use my name or the name of my organisation as a means to achieve whatever end.
