Men recording video while riding bike meets with accident, UP Police uses video to share advisory
The UP Police released a video showing the repercussions of filming while operating a motorcycle as a sobering warning of the risks associated with distracted driving. The purpose of the video is to increase public awareness about driving safety by emphasizing the value of maintaining eye contact with the road.
A strong message is shown on screen as the video opens: “A reel can receive millions of views. However, it cannot take the place of a life that is priceless.” This establishes the mood for the video by highlighting the possible tragedy of putting likes above safety.
Police in Noida detain a man after he is seen firing from an ‘illegal’ weapon in an astonishing video.
Two males riding bikes are shown in the video itself. The passenger begins recording a video with his phone while he is traveling. Regretfully, the cyclist becomes engrossed in the performance as well, diverting his attention from the road to be captured on camera. The video finishes abruptly, as one might imagine, with the sound and visuals of an accident, conveying a powerful message.
The UP Police hopes that by telling this admonishing story, others may be deterred from acting in a similarly careless manner. This message is further supported by the statement “Eyes on the road, not on the likes,” which is displayed next to the video.
