Uttar Pradesh police, which often shares road safety messages on its social media channels, released a video highlighting the severe consequences of filming a reel while riding a motorcycle. The warning video comes in response to the increasing number of accidents caused by creating reels by content creators.
The video opens to show two men on a motorcycle, with the pillion passenger beginning to record a video, distracting the rider. His friend, who is driving the bike, turns around to smile at the camera. However, the video ends with the sound of a crash and a blank screen, highlighting the sudden and severe consequences of distracted riding. The UP Police used this video as a public advisory, urging all riders and drivers to avoid using their phones or recording videos while on the road.
''Eyes on the road, not on the likes,'' caption of the video read while a text insert read, ''A video can garner millions of views. But it can't replace a life worth millions.''
