I think the appropriate recourse would be to write Uber and suggest tipping be added as an option in the app (as it is with Lyft) in order to avoid the awkward sign in the car.
I'm aware drivers under 4.6 can be terminated, in fact I'm an Uber driver myself. We're told specifically in the training materials
never to ask for tips. The sign is inappropriate and against Uber's policy.
