Car passed inspection, background cleared, ready to go! Any tips for someone about to take their first passenger? Nervous about navigation and awkward conversations.

Congrats! Don't overthink it. Most passengers just want a quiet, clean ride. Use Google Maps or Waze (not Uber nav). Start in areas you know well. The first few rides are nerve-wracking but you'll get comfortable fast!

Quick tips: mount your phone where you can see it easily, confirm the passenger name, and don't stress about conversation - most people are on their phones anyway. You've got this!
