UBER cars have an “U” sticker on the windshield. Somewhere.
They are actually required to identify themselves this way, so that people can visually tell its an Uber car. Makes sense when you call for one and need to see if its the car you were waiting for.
So you can tell its actually an Uber car.
So how do you get into a strange car that doesn’t appear to be a Uber car?
Maybe the guy made eye contact and she was drunk and it was dark. I could see myself doing that actually.
the app also SAYS what make/model/color the car will be before they arrive, but most teen chicks don't know a black Impala from a black Nissan, etc.
Those U stickers can be copied at kinkos for 25 cents.
Much harder to pretend you are a taxi. You have to invest a lot of time and money to look like a cab and the real cabbies on the road will pretty quickly call you out. They dont like gypsy cabs.
Some regulations are in place for a reason. Garishly painted cabs with giant numbers, taxi signs and medallions are a sign that you are in a real licensed cab. Not a car with a photocopy pasted somewhere.
College girl going home at 2am, my guess is she called Uber because she was too drunk to get home any other way.
