A woman named Jeeks has shared her safety tips for women traveling alone in ride-hailing services like Uber or Lyft. She suggests sitting directly behind the driver's seat, pretending like something got caught in the door to ensure the back door opens, and pretending to be on the phone with someone for the duration of the drive. Jeeks also advises mentioning that there's someone waiting to meet up with you to give the impression that someone is looking for you. She emphasizes the importance of having safety tools within reach, such as a knife or a tool for self-defense. Other red flags to watch out for include license plate discrepancies, driver not knowing the rider's name or destination, and the driver seeming compromised. Jeeks's tips have garnered positive responses on TikTok, with users sharing additional safety measures they practice.
