Also, you are given their name and what make and color the car is. Of course, the color doesn't matter to us, but they always ask if I'm Esther. The driver's name is also given in the description of the vehicle.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I hope that helps you somewhat. If you want me to call you or you call me and ask more questions, don't hesitate to do so. Love to help as always!</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Hope you, George and your family are doing well.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Take care.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">EstherSent From Esther's Amazing and Awesome iPhone 13 Pro Max!</span></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Feb 15, 2022, at 2:49 PM, Deb Reed via CT-NFB <ct-nfb@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>Fellow Nfb members,</span><br><span>I have never used either of the above services but I understand from other members that The drivers do not call your name when they stop the car. It seems as though that would be much safer than sending a description and license plate of the car since most of us would not be able to see that. How would someone know that it was actually an Uber or a Lyft driver or just someone posing as one. Does anyone know if this issue has been addressed with these companies?</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Deborah J.
