Here’s how people reacted to it:

An individual wrote, “It doesn't seem harmless. Cleaning paint, especially on a white interior, is a pain. Also, if it hits the driver in the face or eyes, that's not good. Even if they hit the windshield, that makes blind zones."

Another person shared, "You don't usually happen to have a paint balloon with you on the road. Prick was likely intentionally out on the roads to prank people. Maybe get some points on TikTok. If you are lucky, you may chance upon the video and track them down."

"This is how people get killed over stupid shit. This happens to the wrong person that on the wrong day it could go very bad," posted someone else.

A fourth commented, "I can not help but worry if this is the result of some of the modern influencers that are absolutely terrible human beings.

I am genuinely scared for the future.
