Résumé détaillé

The Melbourne local captured the shocking moment while sitting in the backseat, later revealing why he was so on edge about the behaviour.

An Uber driver has been caught red-handed scrolling through social media while driving a passenger home from Melbourne Airport.

The alarming incident was captured on camera by passenger Jack Saville, 20, who said he first took notice after the car began swerving on the freeway.

The footage shows the driver scrolling through the social media platform while behind the wheel, putting both himself and his passenger at risk.

After noticing the driver’s actions he confronted him about the dangerous behaviour.

“Are you watching TikTok?” Saville can be heard asking the driver in the footage.

“I told him ‘this isn’t funny. I’m actually quite uncomfortable with what you’re doing’,” he said.

Saville said the driver stopped using TikTok after he spoke up but continued to “play around” with other apps on his phone for the rest of the drive.

Uber has confirmed it will review the driver’s account following the incident.

The ride-sharing company has strict policies prohibiting drivers from using mobile phones while operating vehicles with passengers on board.
