‘This Is Why I Have a Camera!’: Cab Driver Shares Viral Video of Drunk Passenger’s Outrageous Behaviour
A video of a cab driver standing up to a group of unruly passengers drinking alcohol inside his running vehicle has gone viral, drawing widespread attention on social media. The clip not only shows the passengers violating rules but also highlights the importance of having dash cams installed in taxis, for both driver and passenger safety.
The video begins with the cab driver addressing the camera, saying, “Ab yeh camera kyun chahiye gadi main, yeh main dikhata hoon, yeh video main dekhiye.” He then plays footage recorded on the in-car camera, which shows a woman sitting in the front seat asking her friend to pass the bottle and stop drinking. Despite the driver objecting to the group’s behaviour, the woman casually says, “Hum log dekh lenge, aapko dikkat hain na police ke samne, hata denge.”
This cab driver addressed privacy concerns in cabs which have dashboard cameras through this video.

Moments later, a male passenger sitting in the front seat is seen drinking alcohol while the cab is moving. After finishing the drink, he throws the glass bottle out of the moving vehicle, prompting the driver to firmly respond, “Arre aisa nahi karte hain bhai.”
The incident ends with the driver once again looking into the camera and stating, “Samajh mein aaya, camera kyu zaroori hai? To agar yahi logon ka privacy hai to main to nahi afford kar sakta ise. Meri gaadi mein to nahi ho paayega.” His statement has struck a chord with many viewers online who see the dashcam not as a privacy threat, but as a necessity for safety and accountability.
The passengers’ faces have been blurred in the now-viral video, and their identities remain unknown. The exact location of the incident is also unclear. However, the clip has triggered a strong reaction on social media platforms, with users largely supporting the cab driver’s calm and firm handling of the situation.
Debate Over Privacy and Driver Safety Reignites
The video has sparked renewed discussions around the use of surveillance in public transport vehicles. While some viewers expressed concern over privacy, many others highlighted how such recordings could protect drivers from false accusations or dangerous situations. The incident has once again brought attention to the challenges faced by cab drivers in the gig economy, where their safety often remains overlooked.
