India is home to incredibly weird events on the roads and this latest example proves it beyond any doubt.

Hero Passion Rider (Pillion) Challaned
The video has been posted by Real Miya Bhai 2.0 on YouTube. The video clip captures a man sitting like a pillion with legs toward one side and still driving the bike. On top of that, he is not wearing a helmet. This is perilous on multiple counts. First of all, he is riding in the middle of the traffic with little control. He is just using one hand to ride. Secondly, the lack of a helmet is a serious threat to his own life. As if that is not enough, he is posing for the camera while riding by looking back. Clearly, he is doing this for social media views.

It is only fair that such punishments are imposed on such moronic acts performed by people in search of social media stardom.
