I hope others here appreciate your openness about this as well.

>Can I just pull over and tell the pax to get out, and end the ride there?

Yes. Absolutely. Anytime you feel unsafe that's pretty much exactly what you should do.

>Is there even a point in reporting it to Uber (or Lyft)?

Yes, so they won't repeat the behavior with another driver.

>I have some martial arts training but I'm not sure how I'd do if things went badly.

1. Keep some pepper spray nearby . I keep mine in the door pocket by my left leg. I would actually recommend pepper gel because it does not disperse as much in a vehicle - less chance of you affecting yourself.
   
   
2. Be aware of your pax. Always keep your doors locked until you have visually sized up your pax - especially important at night. If they don't seem right (staggering, holding a red Solo cup, etc ) - just drive away and cancel.
   
   
3. Get the dashcam sooner rather than later and make sure it is one that records the inside as well. Here is the one that I use. Don't try to hide the dashcam - having it there will stop a lot of bad behaviors just by being seen.
   
   
4. Consider not driving late nights and only doing the business / dinner crowd instead.
   
   Something to consider - If you have bad anxiety issues then Uber may not be the right job for you. You have to deal with a lot of different types of people and enough of them are going to act out badly that this could cause things to go south in so many ways. You might consider trying a different line of work - something less stressful.
   
   
   
   
   
   

I paid a bit more. Total was around $200 because I bought this package that's apparently not available anymore.

It hasn't gone on sale in the last month. Price has been consistently the same, but I'd suggest you spend the money. Piece of mind is vital. Plus with all the news articles coming out of late of pax blaming uber drivers of inappropriately touching them, at least you'd have a good camera to back you up. Worse comes to worse you can also get

It's the exact same thing as the falcon just cheaper.
