You should
always be on the lookout for drivers trying to
take you on a «long haul» without your permission (i.e., the longest route from A to B), and you should
always say no to «high flagging» (where the
cab doesn't run the meter but cuts a deal instead) since this voids the vehicle insurance for the ride.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones; whether you are driving, riding in a
cab, or are otherwise a passenger in a vehicle,
always wear a seatbelt.
