Woman shares 'terrifying but clever' Uber safety hack

A woman has gone viral online after sharing a 'terrifying but clever" tip for staying safe while travelling in a taxi or Uber. The woman, known only as Brennalina, posted a Tik Tok video of the hack she uses every time she gets into a cab after taking inspiration from another user on the social media platform.

Sharing the clip her account @brennalina, she explained: "Ever since a girl on TikTok said she leaves hair and fingerprints in all her Ubers, I leave hair and fingerprints in all my Ubers."

In the video, Brennalina leaves a strand of her hair in the footwell of the backseat and pressing her fingers against the window. This means there are two samples of her DNA in the car, which could be used as evidence should something happen to her during the taxi trip. She captioned her post: "Ladies, am I right? #lovebeingawoman"
