Chennai: Following HC Orders, 22-Year-Old Who Received Bail For Rash Riding, Distributes Pamphlets On Safe Driving

Despite reckless driving on roads being an act punishable by law, many people continue to engage in such activities that endanger themselves as well as the general public safety.

One such case was reported from Chennai city during the month of September after a 30-second clip was shared across social media platforms by an influencer. The clip showed a bunch of youngsters performing dangerous stunts on high-end bikes around Anna Arivalayam, the head office of the ruling party Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).

Soon enough, netizens picked the cue and began tagging the Greater Chennai Police under the video and urged them to initiate action against the motorists.
