Social media users praised the woman's quick thinking and responsible attitude. One user commented, “Sister, humanity first, great job.” Another said, “Absolutely right. Everyone should know how to drive.” However, the post also sparked a discussion about whether ride-sharing companies should have contingency plans for such emergency situations.
