I'm going to a festival in July as a steward...my first ever festival - eek.
They encourage car share, and I've been offered a lift with a young man who lives locally.
I can't decide whether or not to take him up on it....here are the pros and cons I can come up with - WWYD?
Pros
It's a 5 hr drive which I'd happily not do myself (especially on the return journey with possibly not alot of sleep)
Environmentally friendly
Will get to know someone before I get there
To get the job he's passed a basic CRB check
He's already emailed me his FB page and mobile number to keep in touch - so he's not hiding anything
Cheapest option
Cons
What if young man is tired/hungover/still drunk from the festival and wants to drive home? I'd be stranded 5 hrs from home (although only 30 mins from a train station so could get home but at considerable hassle and expense)
What if young man is a mad axe murderer?
I won't have the security of having my car with me.
What if young man turns out to be the biggest bore in the world....10 hrs in a car with him - eek
If I go for the car share option, would it be OTT to ask him to confirm he's got a driving licence/insurance etc, or even email the organisers to see if they will confirm he has a place as a steward ?
Thanks
