Watch the moment an Uber driver gets stranded in a rising sea tide with a Buddhist monk

A taxi has been filmed on camera getting caught out by the rising sea tide off the coast of England.

The hapless Uber driver tried to race the tide at Holy Island when returning to the British mainland, but had to stop in the middle of the sea at a point on the bridge just above the water to let his passengers get out and wade through the water on foot.

The passengers included a Buddhist monk who didn’t seem too perturbed as he waved at the camera.
