An Uber driver has gone viral on TikTok after he experienced a heartbreaking moment when a grieving mother said he reminded her of her son who had passed away.
Thanks to social media, a whole range of somewhat unbelievable happenings during Uber rides have been caught on camera and shared online by drivers.
Whether it be passengers being kicked out for canceling their trips mid-journey, or the driver themselves getting revenge on customers by eating their food, they typically go viral for something going wrong.
For TikToker James Bade this was quite the opposite. The Aussie Uber driver was able to capture a heartfelt moment when two Uber passengers left his car and thanked him in an emotional exchange.
