A video from last year is now going viral on social media sites, in which an Indian-origin female driver forcefully asks to pay her an optional tip after completion of a ride. The incident took place in the UK in 2025, which is learned that the passenger recorded the conversation on her mobile phone.
In a viral video, the car driver can be seen refusing to open the car's doors at the end of the trip until the passenger seating inside agrees to pay a tip for the journey. The female driver appeared to be Indian, forced the passenger and claimed that "its a law of this country to give tip."
The passenger refused to pay a tip and said she never paid a tip to the Uber driver. The driver insisted to the woman that she had given her a long drive and deserved to get a tip. The woman passenger in the shared video pointed out the trash near the driver's seat and the unhygienic background. Paper cubs and soft drink canes were seen in the video side of the driver's seat in the Mercedes-Benz.
The female car driver replied, “It doesn’t matter how dirty the cab is. The back seat is clean, that’s all that matters!” The driver locked the door, preventing the passenger from leaving, without giving her a tip.
The video was originally shared by X (formerly Twitter) handle Cartoq in March 2025 was now reshared and going viral.
