If you happen to talk to your Uber driver once in a while you’ll know that they’re actually people, just like you and I. That means that much like how we get annoyed with really drunk people behaving like fools so do they, and they also have the right to refuse a customer a ride on the basis that they are too inebriated.

Uber driver Edward Caban tried to exercise that right when Benjamin Golden hopped in his car after a few too many. Caban was to have the last laugh, with this below from Sky:

“I don’t feel like he would have stopped if I didn’t spray him. The way that he was coming at me, I was afraid he was going to start strangling me,” Mr Caban said.

Golden, 32, had worked as a marketing executive for Taco Bell, but the fast-food firm fired him after he was charged.

“Given the behaviour of the individual, it is clear he can no longer work for us,” Taco Bell said in a statement.

Golden has also been banned from using Uber for life. Enjoy looking for a new job asshole, hope it’s a nightmare finding parking.

If you’re looking to grab yourself a dashboard camera (and there really are many reasons to do so) you can find some great deals HERE. Pepper spray is not included but it looks like it could come in handy so maybe add that to your list.
