It seems like every week there are mainstream media reports of
rideshare drivers preying on their unsuspecting victims.
One tabloid even claims the biggest rideshare company of them
all, Uber, is hit with
two sexual assault or misconduct claims every day.
Some of these tabloids – such as The Daily Telegraph and
The Sydney Morning Herald – will claim drivers acted
unjustifiably rudely and aggressively towards their passengers,
cancelling rides and leaving vulnerable victims stranded in the
middle of nowhere, with no reception or battery to make a phone
call.
Or worse still, the reports will speak of drivers
sexually touching or even
sexually assaulting passengers who are returning home from what
was meant to be great night out.
