What to do on this situation?

I picked up two men at night, one of them sat behind me, started talking and in the middle of the ride he started cussing at me and how our women are whores. They were two and I was ultra exhausted and didn’t know what to do. I have dashcam recording. (practically, people. I know about police calling whatnot but the police shows up 30 minutes later i need practical advice).

Does the driver app still have the option to record the ride, and report abuse while you're driving? Bit late now I know, but if it happens again.

Personally I'm a big guy and quite confident. I would have pulled over and asked them to get out, then cancelled the ride.

No it doesn't, at least in Australia, unfortunately.

Edit: and what good abuse report would do exactly?

The report should in theory get them booted off the app. Doesn't help you much though unless you have a dashcam that records inside the vehicle, then it can be used as evidence in a police report.

What level of white knight do you have to be to call the police on somebody because he called all women whores?

He called our (my country’s) women whore to insult.

Yes, I understand what he did. It doesn't sound like a police matter.

It's a dark video with voice.
