Cab Driver Drops Totally Drunk Woman Home: Even Opens Gate For Her [Video]
A video showing a cab driver dropping a drunk woman home is now going viral on social media. An interesting conversation unfolds between the two mid-trip, during which the driver playfully calls the passenger ‘spoilt brat’. He, however, reassures her that she’ll be dropped home safely. The internet is praising him for his firm and responsible conduct. The entire incident was recorded on the car’s dashboard camera. This footage was later shared online.
This incident is from West Bengal's Kolkata. The video opens by showing the young driver on duty. The female passenger is seated at the rear, and the conversation between the two is audible. Interestingly, the young female calls him ‘uncle’ throughout the exchange. In the beginning, she says ‘Uncle, can you get me back home safe? I am very drunk.” The driver, a young adult, understands her concern and says “Don’t worry, I’m here. I will take you to your home safe.”
The lady then tells him that she is so drunk and asks him if he could ‘help her with that’! She is talking under the influence of alcohol. The driver keeps calm and gently asks her to keep quiet. She keeps asking him to ensure that she reaches home safely. The driver confidently agrees and reassures her of the same.
Later in the video, we see the girl calling her mom to inform her that she’s on her way home. Mid-way through the conversation, she hands over the phone to the driver and asks him to talk to her mom. He assures the mother that her daughter is in safe hands and will be home soon.
All this while, the woman looks visibly drunk. Speaking incoherently, she says that her mom will slap her for coming home drunk. Responding bluntly, the driver says that she ‘deserves it’.
He then adds that she’s acting like a ‘spoilt brat’. She agrees to it, and the two laugh together. The passenger then thanks the driver for ‘helping her out’.
Like an absolute gentleman, the driver then tells her that she need not thank him for the act, as it is his duty to get her home safe. He keeps his promise and gets the woman to her home safely.
The video even shows him opening the gate for her, and even helping her to get out of the car, as she struggles to manage on her own. In the final few moments, he confirms on camera that she has been dropped off safely.
The video was later shared on the Instagram page ‘Raste Pe Wasta’ where this driver shares candid dashcam recordings of his routine rides. It was widely shared and reposted. Netizens started engaging with the content, praising the driver’s responsible act. Many appreciated him for responsibly communicating with her family in such a challenging situation.
'He needs to be awarded. A genuine Human being. A real Man for once. God bless him.'- commented a user. People also noticed how smartly he maintained boundaries and kept calm while dealing with the intoxicated passenger.
This video was removed soon after it went viral. The page then shared another post stating the reason for the act. In it, the driver said that the video was originally uploaded with the passenger’s consent. But as it went viral, she felt uncomfortable and wanted it to be taken down.
By then, many pages and accounts had reshared and posted the clip. It is now being circulated on various social media platforms and is also sparking active discussions on platforms like Reddit.
