Men recording video while riding bikes crash; Uttar Pradesh police use video to pass on warnings | Trending

As a stark reminder of the dangers of distracted drivers, the Uttar Pradesh Police have released a video showing the consequences of filming while riding a motorcycle. The video aims to raise awareness about road safety and stresses the importance of keeping your eyes on the road.

The footage begins with a powerful message on the screen: “A video can get millions of views. But it can’t replace a life worth millions.” This sets the tone for the video, emphasizing the potential tragedy when likes take precedence over safety.

The video itself shows two men on a motorcycle. While driving, the passenger starts recording a video with his phone. Unfortunately, the driver also gets drawn into the action and turns his gaze away from the road to appear in the recording. As expected, the video ends abruptly with the sound and images of an accident, leaving a clear and powerful message.

With this cautionary tale, the Uttar Pradesh police hope to deter viewers from similar reckless behavior. The phrase “Eyes on the road, not the likes” posted alongside the video reinforces this message.
