This is the story of a Uber driver who conned his Blind customer by taking her phone and awarding himself a £20 tip plus a 5* review.
Uber Story District Judge Susan Green yesterday handed the father-of-two a five-month prison sentence suspended for a year, and ordered him to complete 240 hours of community service. “You took advantage of a blind, vulnerable person who trusted you,” she said. Mihai, of Dagenham, was ordered to pay Ms Oruwari £200 in compensation, plus the £20 tip, as well as £897 in court costs and fees, and he was banned from driving for the next six months. Nasty piece of work, we can agree. But why was he given a driving ban? It wasn't a driving offence. |

He used his ability to drive to commit the offence, so it seems like a just punishment.

The court has a power to disqualify for any offence under the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act.
