Delhi Police, well-known for spreading awareness and addressing various issues through its witty posts, is back with another interesting post that has been circulating on the internet. The department has been urging people not to use their mobile phones while driving through its posts and video-based messages. However, it seems like people are not ready to follow the warnings.

Despite persisting in this dangerous behaviour, the Delhi Police has now shared a witty post highlighting the consequences of using mobile phones while driving, especially texting.

“Aye bhai…. Zara dekh kar chalo! Nahi toh sirf khabar hi pahuchegi aap nahi! (Hey brother…. just be careful while walking! Otherwise, only the news will reach, not you!)” wrote the Delhi Police while sharing a video on Twitter. Alongside, they added a few hashtags, #DontTextAndDrive and #RoadSafety.

In the Delhi Police clip, people can be seen texting while walking and subsequently facing painful consequences for not paying attention to their surroundings while walking on the streets or crossing roads. The individuals in the video get hit by a police officer, fall into a pit, trip into a swimming pool, and slip on stairs due to their lack of focus while walking. Towards the end of the video, a powerful message pops up on the screen: “When you can’t text and walk, how can you text and drive?” This message serves as a reminder for everyone to prioritize road safety and avoid distractions while driving.

Watch the powerful message shared by the Delhi Police in a witty manner, addressing the dangers of texting while driving.
