A shocking video of school children driving a Mahindra XUV700 through busy streets has gone viral, igniting a firestorm of outrage and raising serious questions about road safety and parental responsibility. The footage, which has been viewed over 9.9 million times and shared more than 78,000 times on social media, shows a child in a school uniform behind the wheel of the SUV, navigating traffic with other children onboard.
The incident, reportedly captured in Thane, Maharashtra, depicts the SUV moving through traffic while some of the children, aged around 12 to 13, are seen poking out of the sunroof. Onlookers can be heard expressing shock and disbelief as the vehicle passes by. The reckless behavior has drawn widespread criticism, with many calling for stricter enforcement of traffic laws and greater accountability from parents.
Social media users have flooded the comment section with reactions, with one user stating, “The vehicle should be impounded with a hefty fine on the owner.” Others have urged the Mumbai Police to take action, while many have squarely blamed the parents for allowing such a dangerous situation to occur.
This incident is a stark reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for adults to set better examples for younger generations. As the video continues to circulate, it serves as a wake-up call for authorities and families alike to prioritize the safety of children and others on the road.
