Public roads are meant for safe travel, not reckless stunts that endanger everyone involved. Recent reports have highlighted instances of young couples engaging in Public Displays of Affection (PDAs) while speeding on motorcycles in various parts of the country. One such incident occurred in Bengaluru, where a man was observed riding a motorcycle with a woman seated on his lap. The video of this incident quickly circulated online, prompting the city police to intervene.
The video, shared by the Bengaluru Traffic Police, depicted the reckless act taking place on May 17 along the Bangalore International Airport road. In the footage, the woman was seen seated one-sided on the biker’s lap, without helmets, her arms wrapped around his neck.
In response, the traffic authorities issued a stern message on social media, emphasizing the importance of responsible riding and road safety. They urged individuals to refrain from turning public roads into arenas for dangerous stunts, emphasizing the need to protect lives and cherish the city’s environment.
Taking action, the Hebbal traffic police tracked down the vehicle involved and apprehended the responsible party. However, viewers of the video expressed concerns that both individuals should face consequences for their actions, not just the driver. Some called for the woman’s arrest, while others advocated for more severe penalties, including the cancellation of the driver’s license and imprisonment.
The incident garnered significant attention online, amassing thousands of views, likes, and retweets. Many users echoed the sentiment that both individuals involved should be held accountable for their irresponsible behavior on the road.
