In a concerning trend that is gaining traction on social media, cases of individuals performing dangerous stunts to get some likes and shares on social media are on the rise. The latest such example involves a viral video from Pune, where a woman can be seen riding a Yamaha RX100 without using her hands. In the video, the woman is seen riding the motorcycle with both her legs positioned on the same side, resting one on the rider’s footrest and the other on the passenger’s footrest.
While doing so, she isn't even handling the bike, leaving the handlebar idle.
To make matters worse, she also chose not to wear a helmet. This incident highlights the growing issue of reckless behavior on the roads, fueled by the desire for some worthless social media attention. In this case, she’s dancing on a song as she goes on to pull a rose from the handlebar.
