A man sat on the bonnet of a car to show the way to his friend in the dense fog. After the video went viral on social media, it is being heavily criticized. People are saying that this life-threatening stunt is a blatant violation of safety rules.
A video of a man sitting on the bonnet of a car to guide a car amidst dense fog is being widely discussed on social media. This video has been viewed by more than 1.1 crore people so far and it is being heavily criticized for blatant violation of safety rules. Many people have said that this life-threatening act is a gross violation of safety standards. It is believed that this incident happened somewhere in North India, where there was dense fog. When the road ahead was not visible at all due to fog, this person sat on the bonnet of the car.
Its purpose was to show the driver the right direction. It is clearly visible in the video that he is sitting in front of a slowly moving car and giving instructions to the driver with his hands. Ever since the video went viral, it is being criticized a lot. If you have to apply brakes suddenly or the car slips, there is a complete danger of the person sitting on the bonnet falling down. This is a serious violation of road safety rules. Instead of using fog lights in fog and stopping the vehicle at a safe place, doing such stunts can prove fatal.
Social media users are warning that as videos of such dangerous acts go viral, other people may also copy them. Netizens are demanding that Haryana Police and other officials take strict action against such acts. Officials are repeatedly making it clear that those driving in fog should exercise extreme caution and avoid such risky activities.
