Benjamin Offers Ride Sharing Safety Tips 

(Columbia, SC) -- Columbia's mayor is calling for some changes to make ride-sharing safer. 

Mayor Steve Benjamin's announcement yesterday comes after the death of USC student Samantha Josephson, who was killed after getting into a car she mistakenly thought was her Uber ride. 

Benjamin is calling for all ride-share cars to be inspected by the city, sometimes randomly, and those that pass inspection will have a sticker indicating so. 

He also wants all drivers to be registered and fingerprinted.
