An Uber driver has relived a horrific 25-minute trip where he was subjected to vile abuse by three passengers who took offence to a request to stop eating in his car.
The 34-year-old driver picked up two men and a woman from Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, Queensland, on Sunday at 4am.
The ordeal was captured on the driver's dash cam, obtained by Nine News, which recorded the men threatening him with violence - and one said they were going to shoot him with an AK-47.

He asked one of the men not to eat Subway in his car and was swiftly told to 'get f***ed'.
'We're not going to spill, bro,' the man shouts at the driver.
The driver said of the ordeal: 'I was nervous and shaking.'
The driver offered to cancel the trip but the passengers declined - one even attempting to take the dash camera from him.
