The video provides step-by-step instructions on what to do if caught in a road rage situation. It advises commuters to remain calm and avoid arguing with the other person. Instead of trying to resolve the issue independently, the video suggests taking note of the vehicle’s details and contacting the emergency helpline.
The video stresses the importance of prioritizing safety in such situations. It advises viewers to avoid disrupting traffic, take photos of the incident or the vehicle involved, and provide their account of the incident to the police when they arrive.
Since its release, the video has garnered over 405,000 views on Instagram. While many users have praised the initiative, some have raised concerns about the effectiveness of law enforcement in such situations.
One user commended the police department for using social media to educate the public on road safety, stating, “I loved how @blrcitytraffic is educating the public on road safety by using social media.” However, another user expressed skepticism, stating, “Police will take sides and side with more money or influence only.”
Some social media users have raised concerns about the language barrier faced by non-Kannada speakers in road rage situations. One user shared, “Thanks for the advice and an honest try. But if you don’t know Kannada, you are immediately targeted and beaten up or have to pay up for your life.”
