A MARRIED Uber driver who was filmed after having sex in his cab has been fined £197 – and his wife has agreed to pay it.
Mohammed Jamal was arrested after a shocked neighbour captured him on camera with his jogging bottoms round his ankles alongside the blonde.
The 37-year-old, from Shaw, near Oldham, Greater Manchester, was caught in the act at 2am on Easter Sunday after the onlooker noticed his car "bouncing up and down."
The horrified resident, in Thames Street, Rochdale, shouted: "This is disgusting, you're disgusting.
"Yo, what you're doing? Brother, what are you doing? In the month of Ramadan and you're doing stuff like this?
"What the f*** are you doing? This is disgusting. What are you doing? I've got kids inside here.''

Jamal scrambled to pull up his clothes and retreat out of sight into his car.
As he drove away, the woman tried to cover her face, and the shamed Uber driver was heard mumbling: ''I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry. Bro, I'm sorry."
Jamal appeared at Tameside magistrates court and accepted a charge of soliciting another person for the purpose of obtaining their sexual services as a prostitute in a street or public place.
Prosecutor, Gareth Hughes, told the court: ''The witness who contacted the police was alerted by the sound of a dog barking outside in the street.

"The car’s movements were described as bouncing up and down and he believed the people inside were having sex.
"He believed there was a prostitute involved as they were known to hang out in the local area.”
Mr Hughes explained the video was passed onto the police and both parties were questioned.
The prosecution explained the female involved confirmed she had slept with Jamal after being picked up by him.
Representing himself, Jamal said: “I lost my job as a private hire driver and have not worked for the last two months.
"I signed on with universal credit on the 25th of May. My partner will pay any fine.”
He was fined £80 with £80 in costs and the £32 victim surcharge.
FIRED FROM UBER
Uber fired and banned the disgraced driver following the release of the video.
A spokesman said: 'We are horrified by what is depicted in the video and are taking action. We have banned the driver while we investigate and are working directly with the police."
Labour MP for Rochdale, Tony Lloyd said at the time: ''This is a really worrying video and a rapid investigation is necessary.
"The protection of young people is paramount and this video needs to be investigated to give the public reassurance and to protect vulnerable young people."
