We’ve seen some examples of bad driving in our time, but this Uber driver is really taking the biscuit.

How on earth he managed to get stuck to there we will never know, but luckily for us someone was on hand to take photos of their frankly precarious situation.

People were stunned to see the white taxi, complete with Uber branding emblazoned on its side, dangling over the set of stairs in Bath city centre, Somerset.

Witnesses guessed the driver had been following the sat nav and assumed the route must have taken him that way.

But regardless of how he got there, locals were shocked to see the car hanging over the top step, unable to reverse or go forwards.

Cabbie Paul Roles, 54, witnessed the gaffe in Bath, Somerset, and said it took over an hour to free the stricken car.

He said: ‘It just shows you how much these Uber drivers rely on sat nav. It clearly told the driver to make a turn and it’s taken him right down these steps.

‘Taxi drivers need to have local knowledge so things like this do not happen. You can’t just rely on sat nav.’
