A routine cab ride from Noida to Lucknow took an unexpected turn when a passenger decided to take over the wheel after realising that his driver was too tired to continue. The passenger, Shivam Mishra, who is also known as David on Instagram, had booked a cab for the long journey. However, he noticed that the driver had already been driving since the previous day and was exhausted. Rather than asking him to keep going, Mishra chose to drive the cab himself and let the driver rest in the back seat.
A video shared by Mishra on Instagram shows him behind the wheel while the exhausted driver sleeps in the back. Mishra’s brother can also be seen sitting beside him as they continue their journey towards Lucknow. In the video, Mishra explains that he did not feel it was right to get angry with the driver or expect him to continue driving despite being tired. Keep driving. Instead, I just decided to take it as an adventure and enjoy the journey. So yeah, I’m on my way to Lucknow now, driving on the Noida-Lucknow highway. Mishra summed up the unusual experience in the caption of his post, saying he never expected his cab ride to turn into such an adventure.
