Woman escapes shady bolt trip

Briefly, News reached out to a Bolt driver, Yandisa, to find out if legitimate drivers would pull this stunt and what to do in this sort of situation. The driver said that what Zotha did was right because the scenario was very dodgy from the start:

"A real driver with the intention of getting you from point A to B would never act shady by arriving with other commuters or a different number plate. We drivers also get scammed by people who request rides, and the patterns are similar. This is risky for the drivers and commuters. If something is shady, it probably is; don't think twice, run."
