Task · part of 8. Travel safety: six ways of getting about

8(c). In a rideshare vehicle

Required

Guidelines for travelling safely, explained. A mode of transport that did not exist when this badge was first written.

Notes and warnings

Note. Rideshare vehicles are on this badge and in no printed requirements book yet. The 2025 book has no travel-safety requirement at all. It is one of the clearest signs of how recently this badge was rewritten.
