In recent years, taxis have become a popular mode of transportation due to their convenience and ease of use. However, this disturbing incident highlights a potential risk associated with relying on drivers whose attention may not always be focused on the road. While using mobile phones while driving is already prohibited in many places to avoid distractions, this driver’s actions went far beyond the usual offences.
The video, which was posted by social media user @ROHANKHULE on X (formerly Twitter), revealed the driver driving the taxi with a phone dangerously positioned near the steering wheel. On the screen, a video reel about making an omelette was playing. Incredibly, the driver then proceeded to swipe through the screen while continuing to drive, switching to a new video on the reality TV show Bigg Boss. His attention seemed to be entirely consumed by the content on his phone rather than the road ahead, putting both himself and passengers at significant risk.

The video also caught the attention of the Mumbai Traffic Police, who, after reviewing the footage, reached out to @ROHANKHULE for more details in order to take appropriate action.
This incident sparked an important conversation about the dangers of distracted driving and the need for stricter enforcement of road safety laws.
