Uber Driver Forced to Help Robbery (Getaway Uber) - YouTube

It's currently 9:30 at night on a Saturday, and I've spent a lot of time with police today

Something pretty messed up happened this morning. Just fucking-- Now this channel is supposed to be a place where I can document my funny

Uber rides, but what happened to me this morning, just wasn't funny. Over the past year

I've had some pretty unusual and occasionally messed-up stuff happen in my car

But there's a lot that doesn't make it to the channel cuz it's not appropriate for what I'm trying to do here

and that's create, you know entertaining and generally positive content for you guys, but this morning

I found myself involved with what seemed like a getaway from a robbery and I managed to capture a lot of it on this camera

and on this phone. I've watched the raw footage back so many times, and I just can't help, but feel that there's something like

creative there something like

like cinematic, but at the same time

I don't want to like ruin what this channel is or

change what this channel is cuz I think it's generally pretty like fun and light-hearted

Cuz if you want to see Uber drivers getting harassed and abused you can already find that online.

So I thought a little bit about this and I figured well, what if I can you know talk you through what happened this morning

commentated and turn it into an entertaining piece of content like I

think I can do that, but if I do I want to make it over-the-top and

stupidly dramatic,

Just by the way all of this footage has been handed to the police it's all been documented

extremely meticulously well and

well, necessary actions have been taken so let's try that again

So straight off the bat these guys were young and

way too confident like it wasn't super busy where we were but there were people around and it was broad daylight

You may have seen on the channel before

I've had people get into the car and pretend to be the person that I'm picking up.

It's just a con to get a free ride. I felt that this was happening again. Where am I taking you boys?

App says, I'm going to Richmond. Yes. Oh do you feel your Andy? Yeah? We're in you let's go just fuckin drive

Dude, I'm, I know what you're doing I can't-- just fucking let's go.

I'm not joking. Can we just watch that headlock back one more time in slow motion? There is this like helpless

'oh shit' look on my face right about...

Now

But yeah, I got a massive fright like I totally froze and the GoPro doesn't really represent

or show you how wide or like strong this dude was. Before today

I'd heard that if you ever feel unsafe as a driver, just turn the ignition off, get out of the car, and call the cops

Which is good in theory, but when the big guy puts you in a headlock out of nowhere...

you don't really want to test him. I'm gonna call Toby alright? Just give me a second.

This guy never answers his phone...

You better pick up man-- So for a bit of context, I've been driving since 10:00 p.m.

the night before and I was tired like at the time, I had just finished an 80-minute trip from Toulon Vale to Malden

Anyway, so then this happened:

Hey, Tony, what's crackin'?

And then yeah easy in-and-out 45 seconds boom no questions asked hold on man. I'm gonna call you back in a second.

Oi, is that thing fucken on?

Battery is dead man. Nah. Nah. I'm pretty sure it's on, mate. Are you fucking joking? Are you fucking joking? I'm driving!

Fucking douchebag.

I wanted to get as much evidence of these Schmucks as possible, so this is what I did: when I'm driving

I keep my phone in a mount which kind of looks a little bit like this so

I tend the phone around and I started recording from the back camera so that way they wouldn't see that I'm, you know,

recording them with a selfie camera.

What I did next was extremely risky and looking back there were so many things that could have gone wrong,

but I knew that there was a police station like sort of on the way. Just by the way

please enjoy my sleepy yet focused tunnel vision face in the next scene. Why are you going this way?

This is how you get to /destination/

[Music intensifies]

Fuuckkk!

That's as much as I'm comfortable showing. I actually black the screen out there because I got quite violent just for like a split

second there when he was choking me and the rest is really just the Schmucks getting reprimanded by the two cops who were very

fortunately getting out of their cop car as I pulled in like a maniac with my hand on the horn. It ended well,

but had it gone a different way, like if they had a weapon or did something unexpected...

I just got freaking lucky.

Anyway, that was a totally over the top and stupidly dramatic experience, but it's all over and, um,

you can tune in next Friday for a regularly scheduled funny Uber rides,

until then, be safe.

Yeah, you're still here?

This whole thing was fake as fuck, I can't act for shit.

April fools.
