So what's the point? Its a win-win drivers and passengers both right? Because the male drivers also face problems like threat of a false accusation, vomit in the car, cancelling ride in-between and not getting paid or being robbed.
A friend of mine used drive a cab for a company that took night shift employees from workplace to their homes. He was allowed to use that cab as a taxi in off time, so he did that to make some extra money. A hardworking man with a good character. He got a ride from a nightclub to some hotel or some place (I don't recall that). He does not drive anymore, he left that job and has started some other work. Not all men are bad, and not all women are good.
The passenger was so drunk that she couldn't even get into the car by herself. So he helped her into the backseat and then he started driving. She cancelled the ride mid-way and when he asked her to get off, she attacked him from backseat and threatened him with a false accusation. To his good luck, the guy had a two-way recording dashcam in the car, that he used to save himself.
