“Two boys drunk driving with beer bottles in their hands, no helmets, almost hitting cars and people and the cops said, “Post it on social media.”
Is this what safety looks like on our roads?”, the user writes on X, tagging administration and Gurugram police social media handles.
“When the woman (user) posted this video on social media, the Gurugram police swung into action and claimed to have taken action, but no information was given about what action was taken,” another user commented on the post.
“The incidents of dangerous driving and stunts on the roads of Gurugram continue unabated. Such incidents are being reported every day. Police take action, but people are not stopping,” another user reacted.
Drunk driving is not only a violation of the Motor Vehicles Act, but also a crime under the Reckless Driving and Endangering the Lives of Others Act.
