How great is Uber? When it comes to the user experience, it's second to none. No longer do you have to choose between spending your last fiver on a taxi home or on two more jagerbombs. Now, it's jagerbombs every time. Plus, you can see where they are, they're especially nice to you because they want a good rating... it's just all fucking fantastic.

However, some people just take the piss.

You may have seen this clip going viral recently. Basically, a passenger threatened to accuse her Uber driver of rape if she didn't get her own way.

Well, now the unnamed woman in the clip has been banned for life. Good.

An Uber spokesperson said in a statement: "The behavior in this video is abusive and completely unacceptable,

"As our community guidelines make clear, this will not be tolerated by anyone who uses Uber. The rider's account has been banned and Uber is looking into this incident."

In the eight-minute video, the woman even says that "Donald Trump is going to send you and your family back [to your country]."

Bloody hell.

"You not doing nothing, call the fucking cops. Fuck outta here, I'm gonna tell them you hit me," she begins.

"I ain't taking you nowhere, you exit here," he responds. Fair play.

She adamantly wants the police calling, before shouting: "I will spit on your face."

The driver remains still, asks her to calm down or get out, and tells her that she'll still be charged.

He also tells her he's being disrespected, but she is having none of it.

Later, in the video, she begins screaming for 'her man'. Her phone battery has died, but the Uber is booked under her fella's name, any problems the taxi driver has, she feels, should be directed at him.

The taxi driver does brilliantly to not give the game away that he's filming the girl, despite her claiming to tell the police about him hitting her.

After four minutes of video, the rape accusations start. This guy would be forgiven for losing his rag a little here, but he remains completely professional.

"I'm married, and a loyal husband," he responds.

Eventually, after realising she's on tape, she gives up the chase, and leaves the taxi.

As the driver pulls off he says: "This is uptown New York man, Bronx. We've got stupid ass bitches out here."

He then apologises for his language. What a gent.
