I told him dont. He did not listen. Traffic police stopped him. Clicked a photo. The uber driver started arguing with the traffic police. I intervened. Asked the police to let him go now that he had already clicked the car photo. The uber driver got angry. Said.. 'Tu bharegi kyaa 500 rupe'? I said 'tum phone pe baat kar rahe the' (sic)."
