On social media, a video of reckless driving is swiftly going viral and receiving negative feedback from social media users. The video has been shot in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, and was posted on several handles of X (previously Twitter). It shows a man endangering pedestrians by driving his car on the footpath.
A person in a different car that was following the car took the video. Because of the danger the film poses to public safety, it has caused outrage and alarm.
“What is going on in this country? Everything is happening on the footpath. Vehicles are running on the footpath instead of the road, people are sleeping on the footpath instead of their homes, and shops are also running on the footpath,” commented a user.
“Officials, please take cognisance of the matter and take strict action,” wrote another user.
The Ghaziabad police have responded to the dangerous video by taking swift action on the matter. In accordance with the Motor Vehicles Act, the Indirapuram police station has filed a complaint under the relevant sections and has initiated the process to seize the involved car.
