Note the heart -warming moment that a Uber driver stops to wish his daughter a happy birthday on exactly midnight.
The video, taken by one of his passengers, is written: 'Best Uber experience. He asked if he could call his daughter at 12 o'clock before her birthday. '
While the London taxi driver turned the car with one hand, he held his phone with his other and wished his daughter a happy birthday.
“Hello honey, happy birthday,” he said.
“I have some friends with me and they want to sing a song for you.”
What follows is an off-key but well-intended chorus of 'Happy Birthday' of the passengers of the car, who liked to participate in the festivities.
The daughter of the driver fills her own name 'Sarah' in the right place in the song and tells her father shy: “Thank you.”

One of the passengers then screams “Hupheup!” Before the video is closed, it probably shouts from 'Hip Hip Hoora!'
Taxi company Uber implements a rice period for all its employees who drive drivers at 12 hours before they have to take a break of at least six hours.
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.
Uber drivers often work through the nights to take care of those who return from the evening out or on the way to the airport.
The night is also a period that sees less traffic congestion and a higher demand for taxis, because public transport is seriously limited.
