"Did you at least give him five stars? That’s safety and service excellence right there!"
@bryantsotetsi321, who found the situation hilarious, wondered aloud:
"So, who got paid? The police officer or the Uber driver? And let's not forget, he might need bail money now!"

"Only in Cape Town! At least some of our traffic officers are making sure we feel safe, even if it's in unconventional ways."

"I once taught at a school in Cape Town, and the cops would often arrest taxi drivers on the way to school. They’d then drive the taxis themselves and drop the kids off. Talk about multitasking!"
@miss_t_zulu added in the comments section:
"People at the beach probably thought you were some VIP when you arrived with a police escort!"
