This is the moment an Uber driver was filmed holding his phone during the middle of a ride as he wished his daughter a happy birthday.

Footage showed the London Uber driver turning the wheel with one hand as he called his daughter with with other.

The car was visibly moving as he spoke to his daughter at midnight, at the exact moment of her birthday. 

Video of the moment was captured by one of his passengers, who watched on as he took a break from driving them to their destination to make the phone call.

The video, taken by one of his passengers, is captioned: ‘Best Uber experience. He asked if he could call his daughter for her birthday at 12am’

What follows is an off-key but well intentioned chorus of ‘happy birthday’ from the car’s passengers, who were keen to join in the festivities

During the video, the driver told his daughter: ‘Hello baby, happy birthday.’

He added:  ‘I have some friends with me and they want to sing a song for you.’

Despite the pause in their ride, the Uber driver’s passengers seemed unperturbed.

The video caption reads: ‘Best Uber experience. He asked if he could call his daughter for her birthday at 12am.’

One of the passengers then yells ‘hip hip!’ before the video cuts off.

Uber implements a driving time limit for all its workers that caps drivers at 12 hours of driving before they must take a break of at least six hours.

In order to enforce this, the Uber Driver App – used by drivers to book customers – blocks a driver’s access once they have reached their maximum drive time.

Often, Uber drivers work through the nights to cater to those returning from evenings out or heading to the airport.
