If you end up with an Uber driver engaged in a sex act, Uber will offer you $10 for your troubles.

That's what happened to Aner Manuel, who posted a video that appeared to show his Uber driver engaged in sexual acts while operating a motor vehicle.

In a Facebook post, Aner Manuel claimed that his Uber driver picked him up and already had a woman in the passenger seat.

"As we pulled off the female in the front (who was clearly on drugs) attempted to open the door and could not even sit straight as the vehicle was in motion. She then began to grope him and grab him. They began to kiss and she began loosening his belt," he wrote.

Manuel wrote that the intimate contact escalated, at which time he told the driver to pull over and let him out of the car.

"As we got further and further from my pickup location I had no idea where I was, so I had to stay in the car. She then proceeded to perform oral sex. This was my last straw. I asked the driver to drop me off," Manuel wrote.

Manuel notified Uber, which gave him a refund and a $10 credit—but added that he's not pleased with the company's response.

"They have been extremely bad at answering any messages I've sent, and I demand something gets done. This is not okay" Manuel wrote.

The video is embedded below. A warning, it is relatively not safe for work.

Uber and Manuel did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In a statement to the Evening Standard, Uber said the driver had been removed from its service.

"The behaviour of this former driver is appalling and is not tolerated on the Uber app. As soon as this situation was reported to us, we immediately removed this driver’s access," the statement read.
