Uber Driver Watches Videos While Driving, Company And Mumbai Police React

At a time when people have become increasingly reliant on cab aggregators like Ola and Uber, a man’s distressing experience with an Uber driver has gone viral on social media and prompted a response from not just the company but also Mumbai Police. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), user Venkat (@snakeyesV1) shared his alarming experience, where his Uber driver was watching videos on his mobile phone while navigating the city. “I am not feeling safe to travel in @Uber_India these days,” the user wrote in the caption of his post while sharing a video of the cab driver. 

“These days the drivers are driving dangerously. This driver is watching videos on his mobile by putting his phone on his lap,” Mr Venkat added. He also tagged Mumbai Traffic Police and Uber India in the post. “This happened in Mumbai. What will you do to stop this?” he wrote. Mr Venkat shared his alarming experience on X last night. Since then, his post has prompted a response from the Mumbai Traffic Police and Uber India. “We request you to provide exact location details for further action,” wrote Mumbai Traffic Police. To this, Mr Venkat replied that this happened before the Vashi bridge towards Navi Mumbai from Mankhurd.
