Bad advice. Numerous times in high school I’d walk home and accept rides from people who stopped for me. They were all people I know.

On my way home through my 4 years I had my English teacher stop, my tech teacher stop, my workshop teacher stop, and few of my friends parents who also offered to give me a ride home.

I was walking for the work out not because I had too, but I always took them up on it since it was a nice gesture that showed they cared.

And to answer your question about “them not asking for a ride, and why are you offering it?”

It’s because they care about their safety. If I saw my niece walking along the street alone, I would without a doubt ask her if she needs a ride and if she was okay. If I didn’t, then I am negligent.
