Beats me - it's not as if the belts are short. I've tried to re-enact it and you'd need to be really careless/heavy-handed... as some people apparently are.

Drivers not helping with luggage and merely popping the boot.

Sadly, it appears to be standard for Uber drivers. :sad:

Punter mentioned that her cab fare from the airport was more than the flight.

I mentioned that if I could fit 300 people in my car, then her fare would have been less than 50p.
