Uber is a car service used all around the world. It is thought of as a nicer taxi. This sunday, a uber driver was arrested in India for rape. Apparently, a woman fell asleep while on the road back to her house but when she woke up the uber was in at deserted area. There, he assaulted her. He dropped her near her house and she almost immediately called the police. Apparently, she called the police as soon as possible. He was arrested soon after.
This is a really scary thing because it shows that uber drivers aren't background checked. Anyone can be a driver as long as they have the right license. This makes me never want to take an uber especially being a teenaged girl. I have turned down taking ubers before because of the stories about the drivers that circulate.
