A video of a couple riding a motorcycle on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. The short clip shows the woman dangerously perched on the fuel tank of the bike, hugging the rider from the front, as they sped along the busy road, neither of them wearing helmets.
A passenger in a car filmed the risky stunt and later shared it online, and the couple quickly drew widespread criticism. The motorcycle’s registration number was visible in the 19-second footage, filmed on June 15.
Watch the video:
As outrage grew on social media over the blatant disregard for traffic laws, the Noida traffic police took action.
Confirming the action on X, the Noida traffic police said, “Taking cognisance of the said complaint, action has been taken against the concerned vehicle for violating traffic rules by issuing an e-challan (fine of Rs 53,500) as per the regulations.”
“The video came to notice through social media in which a boy and his co-rider were seen flouting traffic norms. After that, a challan of Rs 55,000 has been issued to them,” Lakhan Singh Yadav, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Gautam Buddh Nagar, told The Times of India.
Yadav also urged people to avoid such reckless behaviour, warning that strict penalties will continue to be enforced against those who break traffic rules.
This isn’t the first time a stunt like this has grabbed attention. A similar incident from Bengaluru had gone viral, showing another couple pulling off a risky act on a busy stretch.
In that video, the man was seen riding a motorcycle helmet-less through the bustling Sarjapur Main Road, while the woman sat dangerously on the fuel tank, facing him. The video of the man driving the motorcycle, carrying a Tamil Nadu registration number, drew sharp criticism online, with people slamming the recklessness and highlighting the growing disregard for road safety.
