I just found the info how to change the address while on the Uber trip. I assume Lyft is the same.

Go on the app, find your ride in progress, add new address or change the address. Driver will automatically see it.

Telling a driver to enter a new address while driving or telling him to stop or exit on the highway is not a proper course of action. When you were panicking and getting flustered it jeopardized safety of his driving. He had to pull out and let you out. He was telling you to change the address in the app, but you kept panicking so he didn’t feel it was safe to continue driving. Plus you were going to report him, not sure for what, so perhaps he figured it was safer to let you out as he was possibly about to be accused of something.

Story about weapon threat does not make sense and that part I have no explanation for. I’ve no idea why he or Lyft mentioned weapons. The rest makes sense of what happened.

I agree with una about you tube videos. There are some good ones out there
