What happens if your Uber runs out of petrol - nearly happen to me last night.

Be cool if my account had a secret word attached to it.
So when I open the door the driver says "custardlips" and I know it's safe to proceed.
But yeah - Uber is pretty safe already if you just pay attention to the app and check that the car & driver matches. Hard to beleive people will climb into a strangers car when the service they're using offers a means of checking everything. Maybe don't think using Uber is an excuse to get so drunk you can't read your screen.

I've gotten into very dodgy uber cars. If the car details were not on the app, I would have run the other way!

I found that my South African UBER account would not work in the UK. The app loads and finds my location, but there are no cars available. The person I was staying with (in Leicester) could order an UBER car with her phone without any problem. I sent two emails to UBER but just received a generic response
