What will happens if at the end of the ride u get out and run away from the driver without paying?

It depends on how fast you are and how fast the taxi driver is... As a kid I did that before... They never caught us, but we were pretty fast. Today there are so many cameras everywhere, that I'd be surprised if taxis aren't recording everything. So if you were to run, they'd have you on video. They could show it to the cops. If the cops ever ran into you for some other incident, and they ran you through the computer, they'd likely have your mug on video skipping out on pay for the taxi and charge you for both crimes.

I mean the cameras quality are probably shitty as hell but yep if I run fast as a mf on sum Usain Bolt shii mf couldn’t find me unless they follow me with the cars and even with the car they couldn’t lose me if they stop at a red light lol

I’m not sure what the setup for taxis are now, but if it’s anything like Uber or Lyft then that can’t happen. For one, you need to have some sort of credit card on file, and it will be charged for that completed ride. You can be a bum and try skipping out if you want to but that’s a great way to be banned or blacklisted.

I mean if I run as hell on sum Usain Bolt shit they couldn’t find me to charge me unless if they follow me with the car I guess lmao

They’d have your card information sir lol this isn’t the 90s

[Asker]

No if i leave before actually give them my card lol

Have you ever been in a taxi, Uber, etc? Because in any I’ve been in you have to put your card info in prior, then it is charged once you reach your destination. I’m not sure why you’d want to rob someone anyway, talking about Usain Bolt why not just run to your destination lol since you’re so fast.

Haha shady girl!

Most modern taxis don’t accept cash. You can’t pull a dine-n-dash these days without being charged with attempted theft. Not to mention any mainstream corporate taxi companies require cameras in their cars to identify customers for this exact reason. Even if you ran, you’d be charged both the money and the theft

Depends on where you live. In most places you’ll be arrested. Worse can happen to you.

I live In Montreal, Canada but I mean if I run fast as hell on sum usain bolt shit they couldn’t find me unless if the driver decide to follow me with the car I guess

[Opinion Owner]

Well it’s theft, whether you get arrested or end up getting beaten severely doesn’t matter to me.

[Asker]

And what if it’s goes well for me and they never find me that doesn’t mean they will catch me I may be lucky lol

With video coverage in most taxis and other loss prevention safeguards, it’ll likely catch up to you. There is no lower scum in earth than thieves.
