A woman from Melbourne claimed she was almost kidnapped by her DiDi driver on Saturday night which has sparked warnings across town to be vigilant when using rideshare services.
In a series of Instagram stories shared on her @puddingjulie account over the weekend, the woman explained how she traveled from Brunswick to Richmond to meet some friends for dinner. For those unfamiliar with Melbourne, this is roughly a 15-20 minute drive in traffic.
However, she claims the driver put her on a freeway towards Balwyn North – the completely wrong direction – after she had made a series of wrong turns.
“We’re taking a route through Fitzroy and he takes a wrong turn and said, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what happened, I did Made a few mistakes today ‘and I’ I like ‘It’s okay, it happens’ « , she explained in her Instagram story.
» And then we landed on the freeway and half an hour had passed and we did were still in Fitzroy. ”
According to their allegation, the driver offered to cancel the trip and drive them the rest of the way for free. This would of course prevent DiDi from following the rest of the trip, which is never a good idea for the safety of everyone involved.

« I finally went to the other side, got out and he tried to get me back into the car. It was so strange that he said: ‘Here is my phone, talk to my friends, they will tell you that you can come with me.’ where her sister picked her up and immediately went to the police to report the situation.
“It was just terrifying, why the hell are we on the highway, what am I doing. I have the feeling that if I hadn’t said anything, he would have continued.
