1. Always carry a can of Mace. Most Japanese/Korean cars have an empty slot in the dash to the left of the steering wheel where this will fit easily. It's out of the passengers' sight and it's easy to get to.
2. Get a DashCam that's center mounted. I have a VanTrue Pro just under my rear view mirror and it instantly provides a "stupidity deterrent." I plug it in as the passengers are getting into the car and the small screen shows an image of passengers who are being recorded.
3.Keep a gun on the left side of the driver seat. This prevents the criminal from getting it and also gives you a way to fight back.
Never take anyone who looks to be under the age of 18. As a Lyft driver, I've refused to take unaccompanied minors. Be careful if you drive on weekday mornings and mid-afternoons.
There's too much liability. The parents, not rideshare drivers, are responsible for getting their kids to and from school.

I know it can be hard, but firmly tell them that you cannot accept anyone under the age of 18. You could be deactivated.
People used to tell their kids not to talk to strangers but now they want their kids to get into car of a stranger?
