Daughter called me after a bad Uber trip today. Driver seemed "odd" and started asking a lot of questions. More about her day than anything personal, way more than she wanted to share. After trying to disengage from the conversation, the driver pulled over and told her to get out..... At which time she discovered that the doors would not unlock. I assume the driver had set the doors to "child safe" mode. Driver seemed angry when he then demanded she get out. She told him the door was locked, at which point he unlocked the door, she got out, and he split.
She'll report the driver to Uber, but I was concerned (red-flag concerned) that the driver set up the car so that passengers were unable to leave unless the driver unlocked the door.... Maybe he's got small kids and just leaves the doors that way due to the hassle factor of resetting them? Is it worth filing a report with the local PD just for the paper trail?
Anyone happen to know if Uber has a policy on this? Google-fu drew a blank.
FWIW... Kid is 20-something... definitely not a smartass in public places or with strangers. College town.
