Be the Master of Your Ride

At Wii Ride, your safety is paramount. These general safe driving practices are essential for every driver, every trip. By following them, you can ensure a smooth, controlled, and enjoyable experience for yourself and everyone on the road.

  • Seatbelts: Your Shield, Every Time: This is the number one defense in a collision. Always buckle up yourself, and ensure all passengers are buckled up before starting the vehicle.
  • Focus on the Road, Not Distractions: Driving requires your full attention. Avoid texting, using mobile phones (except hands-free options where permitted), eating, or adjusting the radio while driving. Minimize distractions from passengers as well.
  • Fight Fatigue: Get Rest Before You Drive: Drowsy driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving. Ensure you're well-rested before taking the wheel. If you feel tired while driving, pull over to a safe location and take a break.
  • By adopting these safe driving practices, you become a pro-active driver. You contribute to a safer driving environment for yourself, your passengers, and everyone sharing the road. Remember, safety is a shared responsibility. Let's all do our part!

Ride with Responsibility

At Wii Ride, safety is non-negotiable. We take a firm stance against reckless driving and road rage. These Wii Ride specific safety tips empower you to prioritize safety throughout your shift:

  • Pre-Trip Check: Before accepting a ride, verify the passenger and any cargo are secured safely. Double-check delivery details for packages. There's no pressure to rush. Ensure everything is in order for a smooth ride.
  • Zero Tolerance for Unsafe Behavior: If a passenger exhibits disruptive or threatening behavior, report the incident immediately and follow company protocol. We prioritize the safety of our drivers and passengers above all else.
  • Road Rage is a No-Go: Disagreements on the road happen, but aggressive driving or retaliation is never the answer. Stay calm, maintain a safe distance, and report any dangerous situations. Remember, you are a Wii Ride ambassador. Promote safety and composure.
  • By following these safety tips, you contribute to a positive and professional experience for everyone on the road. At Wii Ride, we believe safety is a shared journey. Let's work together to make every ride exceptional.

Your Wellbeing is Our Priority

While we strive to create a safe environment, unexpected situations can arise. Here's what to do in these rare instances, prioritizing your safety above all else:

Stay Calm and Cooperate

Do not resist. The safety of yourself and your passengers is paramount. Hand over any valuables requested.

Alert Authorities When Safe

Once the situation is under control, pull over to a safe location and call the police immediately. Report the incident to us (Wii Ride) as well.

Avoid Confrontation

Do not engage with aggressive individuals. Report the incident to the authorities and take a safe detour if possible. Your safety is more important than a potential fare.
