Viral: A video emerged showing how a speeding car was blocked by a traffic cop who, jumping onto the road, led to an accident resulting from the blocking since the driver of the vehicle applied his brakes so harshly in that split second that it didn’t leave much space for the vehicle not to react, hence the collision.
Social media influencer Maxtern posted the video on his X handle on Tuesday, criticizing the traffic police for their dangerous action.
‘Another incident where a stupid traffic cop came in the middle of the road to stop the car and an accident happened. Indian traffic cops are worse than Chhapris!’ Maxtern wrote while sharing the video of the accident.
The viral video was first uploaded to a YouTube channel named Chengai Vlog at the end of last month, with the caption ‘Whose mistake is this?’
According to the reports, the incident occurred in the Perungalathur region of Chennai city.
Yesterday, he had posted another video in which traffic cops could be seen stopping a vehicle on the highway.
Questioning the traffic cops’ actions, he said, ‘Why stop vehicles on the highway when challans can be issued online? Do they want ₹500 after unnecessary harassment?’
