Another commenter echoed the sentiment, stating, “Dashcam is the most important accessory. Must have in your car.”

Concerns Over Growing Threats on Indian Roads

Several viewers shared their concerns about the growing dangers on Indian roads, citing the necessity of dashcams to protect against potential scams. One user compared the situation to China, stating, “I have only seen this thing in China. Bangalore is slowly turning into something else. People do whatever they can to loot.”

Others shared personal experiences, with one recounting a similar incident in Hyderabad: “Man, the same thing happened to us while we were driving a two-wheeler at Prasad’s Labs Signal. Scammed us 1500 rs.”

While the majority of the reactions expressed concern, some users found the woman’s actions unsettling, with one person commenting, “At first instance, I thought it’s a ghost of a lady.”

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of urban life and the importance of being prepared for unexpected situations on the road.
