A video from Bengaluru has stirred debates on social media once again. The video shows a small child standing on the footrest of a moving scooter while the parents are also on the scooter, riding it on a busy road.
In fact, from what can be seen in the video, the pillion, a lady, isn’t even wearing a helmet as she is seen holding the child on her side. Even though the government and automotive companies are trying to make roads safer, incidents like this show that some people aren’t taking safety seriously.
The footage was recorded in the Whitefield area.Users have shared it on social media platforms, seeking action from the Bengaluru police department. As seen in the video, the man is riding the scooter while there’s a woman seated as a pillion. It’s a common sight when we spot a child sitting in between the parents on a two-wheeler or sometimes on the front side, both of which are also risky.
