The Delhi Police frequently utilizes their social media platforms to raise awareness among the public by sharing advisories. In their ongoing efforts to discourage texting while driving, they have resorted to using memes and video-based public service announcements. However, as this dangerous behaviour persists, the police department has recently shared a new post highlighting the risks associated with texting while driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a Twitter post, the Delhi Police wrote, 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!). Accompanying the message were hashtags #DontTextAndDrive and #RoadSafety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shared video portrays individuals texting while walking and the alarming consequences that follow. From colliding with poles and falling into pits to tripping into swimming pools or slipping on stairs due to momentary distractions, the video vividly captures the dangers of not being fully present while walking. Towards the end of the video, a powerful message appears on the screen: When one can’t text and walk, how can one text and drive! This serves as a poignant reminder for us to prioritize road safety and avoid distractions, whether it be while driving or walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
