Social media users had mixed reactions. Some found it amusing, calling it another “peak Bengaluru moment,” while others criticized the woman for riding without a helmet and ignoring road safety rules.

Bengaluru has been in the spotlight for similar incidents in the past. In one case, a woman was seen working on a laptop while driving through heavy traffic. In another, a helmet-less rider was captured on Sarjapur Main Road with a woman sitting in an unsafe position, facing him instead of sitting properly.
