India is experiencing a troubling rise in reckless driving and daredevil stunts on roads, largely driven by the desire for social media fame. This dangerous trend significantly compromises road safety, endangering the lives of drivers, pedestrians, and bystanders. Recently, a shocking video surfaced online, showing two young men performing a daredevil stunt on a speeding auto-rickshaw along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. The footage, captured by a passenger in another vehicle, shows the shirtless man climbing onto the auto’s roof while the other hangs precariously from the side. Loud music is also audible in the video.

The video has sparked widespread outrage and concern over road safety and the blatant disregard for traffic rules.
One user wrote, “This is a completely irresponsible and life-threatening act. Roads are not a place for stunts. Such behavior endangers not only their lives but also the lives of other passengers. The administration must take strict action to prevent such dangerous acts in the future.”
