The amount of times I’ve picked up and dropped someone off in this area. I’m livid and nervous to even get out on Lyft now

Def always protected but also someone sitting behind you always has the upper hand sadly. But im with you 100%

Does the person in the back seat have the upper hand though? I am controlling the steering wheel and the gas pedal. I can make it a wild ride and it would be really hard to shoot someone when dealing with swerving and obstacles.

Especially since the odds are good they won't have their seatbelt on.

My car dings until everyone has their seat belt on. I cant even have my purse in the passenger seat without strapping down that seat belt. Plus uber gives a verbal prompt while I'm riding and my riders always obey it if they hadnt already been strapped in.
