Stunts and careless driving are getting extremely popular these days as ‘content’ for social media. The Uttar Pradesh Police takes notice of one such viral video. The police then intervened and issued an extensive Rs 55,000 challan.
These days, doing stunts for social media “content” and reckless driving are growing extremely popular. Road safety is becoming increasingly problematic as a result of these increasing incidents. A man in Noida recently appeared to be driving dangerously on the crowded Noida Expressway in his Hyundai i20 hatchback car in another widely shared video.
The motorist was seriously affecting oncoming traffic on the busy road by swerving and doing turns carelessly, as seen in the video. It is also visible that a heavy black coating has been applied to the hatchback’s windows. In India, this is also a crime that has penalties.
A video of the incident was taken, and it was posted on social networking site X. The Uttar Pradesh police became notice of the pictures after it went viral. The offender received a fine of right away for a variety of traffic violations, including driving without insurance, using a defective registration plate, recording the car windows, and racing at a high rate of speed. The entire sum of the challan was Rs 55,000.
The accident serves as a reminder of the serious risks caused by careless driving in areas with rapid speeds, like the Noida Expressway. Such antics may have disastrous consequences. Such negligent behavior put not only the lives of other drivers on the road but also the lives of those who perform them at danger, all for the sake of a few likes and shares on social media.
Indian police forces have recently risen their level of alertness in response to these types of crimes. To find and punish the offenders, they are using a variety of methods, such as social media monitoring and video surveillance. The goal of this heightened examination is to stop the hazardous practice of driving dangerously and pulling off stunts for the sake of gaining a few likes and shares on social media.
