Delhi Police often takes to various social media platforms to share advisories to create awareness among people. Their latest share is a hard-hitting PSA on why one shouldn’t text while driving. It is one of such videos that will make you think.
The department shared their caption in Hindi. When translated, it reads, “'Look somewhere, aim somewhere' can be dangerous. While driving, keep the focus only on the road, not on the mobile. ”

The video starts with a collection of apparent funny situations where people are seen falling down or bumping into things while texting and walking. However, towards the end of the video, the scene changes to show a woman getting into an accident while driving and texting.
