An Aussie tradie has been praised for his hilarious response to his Uber driver being pulled over by police for speeding.
Fynn Ellmers was riding in the passenger seat of the rideshare car when the driver was pulled over by highway patrol in the Gold Coast last week.
Mr Ellmers volunteered to translate on behalf of the cop as the driver appeared to struggle to understand English.
‘Excellent, that would be good,’ the grateful cop replied.
The officer then told the driver he would undergo a random breath test after he was caught driving 18km/h over the speed limit.
‘You can translate [that] if you like,’ he told Mr Ellmers.
Aussies were left in hysterics after the tradie leant over to the driver, tapped him on the shoulder and told him: ‘Brother, too fast’.
‘You don’t speak…? That’s excellent. You’re a real champion,’ the officer replied, unimpressed.

Mr Ellmers reassured the driver he would still give him five stars on the app.
‘Oh well my bro, you can’t cry over spilt milk,’ he said.
‘You can still drive me bro. I love you. Thank you, five stars.
‘Thank you for taking me home.’
Aussies were quick to praise Mr Ellmer’s ‘cheeky’ response to the cops on Instagram where the video has racked up over 4million views.
‘I am howling I don’t how many times I’ve watched this on repeat,’ one person wrote.

‘This is exactly the behavior I think of when I hear the word ‘cheeky’,’ a second said.
A third commented: ‘Been a while since I laughed that hard.’
Mr Elmmers told Daily Mail Australia he intended to make more videos.
‘Was so random a friend had seen it on my Snapchat story and thought it was hilarious so I posted it on TikTok, then Instagram and I think it’s got like 4.2million on Insta which is crazy,’ he said.
‘I just need some luck and a bit more confidence to keep on making more funny videos and it would definitely be a good way to make it off the trade site.’
