A screengrab of the video created and shared by Delhi Traffic Police on their official handle on Twitter.
In a witty post, Delhi Traffic Police on Thursday shared a cautionary message on safe driving and urged people to avoid forcefully driving a car in case they are sleepy as that often does not end well.
With the quotes from a popular and controversial viral video of ‘Hindustani Bhau’ or Vikas Fhatak, who is known for abusive videos, the Delhi Traffic Police tweeted, “Ruko Zara Sabr Karo, mood aur mind refresh karo (wait, be patient, refresh your mind and mood)”, adding the hashtags – “Drive Safe, Road Safety, Stay Focused”.
The video showed a chauffeur driving a car on a busy road with a conclusive message of “Jaagte Raho (Keep staying awake) If you are feeling drowsy, take a break”
