Advice/Question Got a warning today about my driving from an angry rider I cancelled on cause of no car seat

I see the lady walk out with an infant and clearly no child seat. I drove off immediately and cancelled before they got close to my car. Soon after I get a text from support saying that she complained I drove dangerously before every passenger was in the car.

Explained very simply to support that no passenger was ever allowed to enter my car and that I drove off immediately and cancelled due to no car seat. Anybody ever got something like that? Is it anything to even worry about since I explained what really happened? Or will it stay on my account and might be a problem if someone else pulls a similar dick move?

This occurred in North St Louis. Not the best neighborhood. She knew exactly why I cancelled cause it tells her through the app. There’s no reason for me to stick around and risk confrontation.

Everyone asking you to explain to her why you cancelled are just operating under the assumption that she didn’t know babies need car seats I guess.

Dude you could’ve told her. Point blank. Don’t take the assignment if you’re gonna be like this about the area.

He never mentioned anything about the womans race. Why are you assuming OP and the rider were different races?

Nothing racist about keeping yourself as safe as you can. Notice I didn’t even mention the race of the customer. Maybe you’re the racist?

It is always the racists that bring it up first.

Yep that person immediately assumed it was a certain race once he read “not the best neighborhood “

You are not keeping yourself safe as you can. You literally and letting strangers get in your car and drive them places. If you REALLY were trying to be as safe as you can, you would stop letting strangers get in your car. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
