Lets play it out and see what's wrong with it.....???

Scenario 1: You get in taxi, driver is a perv, knows you're alone, so drives you partway home and then attacks you.

Scenario 2: You get in taxi after taking pic and MMSing your mate, driver is same perv but now knows that if he attacks you your mate has a pic of him, [in essence you are no longer alone], so takes you home and leaves you alone.

Gee, which has the better outcome??

Of course other option is ...don't go out [ever] or get your dad to pick you up.

Thin end of the wedge though isn't it, I mean thinking like that, every man you come across may be a potential rapist. You'd end up snapping photos of everyone you come across - lone men walking towards you across parks, bus drivers on empty buses, shop keepers during quieter times of the days, delivery men, the postman, milkman, your doctor, the old bloke in the post office. Anyone with the capacity to potentially do you harm. You go mental because lets face it, you'd be acting mental.

And your poor mate, getting nothing but random pics of 'suspicious' men from you.

EDIT

Scenario 3: "Excuse me dear, do you have the time"
*SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP* "Get away from me you old perv, you're a rapist, aieeeeeeee, rape, rape, help help, I've got your photo now, I'm texting it to my mate right now! RIGHT NOW! so you'd better run man, run away and dont try anything because my mate has your picture"

Id prefer it if people didnt go way overboard with their reactions to something that isnt common. All sensible suggestions have been outlined by others which are far more realistic and a lot safer.

Better yet, why not call the police when you get in the cab and insist on an escort all the way to your door.......

Ok, I withdraw all suggestions..........other than 'never go out' and 'always get your dad to pick up'.
