Since the pandemic began, I've been riding a significant amount in ride-shares and taxis. One universal trait of all drivers is that they will immediately punch it as soon as you close your door. Therefore, it's incumbent on me to work on figuring out my seatbelt and attaching it before closing my door, otherwise I will be struggling with it under pressure. Of course, I'm still under pressure, because the driver is extremely eager for me to close that door already, what the hell is taking me so long? In the taxi service I use, all cars are of the same fleet, so it's not difficult to figure out the seat belt, as long as it's in working order. The ride-share drivers, since these are personal cars, often have some sort of stupid obstruction that lies across the seatbelt buckles and prevents riders from finding them. I don't know why it's so unimportant for ride services that they don't care whether riders are safely strapped in. My parents had a strict policy: "the brakes can't come off until everyone's buckled in." This, to me, is pragmatic and caring advice.
