Driving Mahindra Scorpio-N On Median With Men Hanging Out Of Window And Sunroof Is Stupid [Video]

Social media has become an integral part of our lives, and many people around us have built careers on social platforms. These individuals often try to come up with unique content ideas to keep viewers engaged or increase their number of followers. In an effort to make their content go viral, some even perform stunts and break traffic rules. One such video shows a Mahindra Scorpio N being driven on the median of a road, with men hanging out of the windows and the sunroof of the moving vehicle.

The video was shared by Bhagti Jaat Mundhal on their Instagram page. In it, a Mahindra Scorpio N can be seen carrying four people. The car is driven on the median of the road. It’s unclear whether the SUV is on a highway, but regardless of the location, what these men are doing is illegal.

The vehicle was not driven on the road itself but partially on the median. Additionally, one occupant is seen standing through the sunroof, while another is hanging out of the rear left window. This is a dangerous stunt, and we’ve stressed multiple times in previous articles why such actions should never be attempted.

The video appears to be recorded from another car, likely from the same group. The purpose behind their driving is clearly to create social media content. The men standing and hanging out of the vehicle are also recording the stunt from different angles on their phones.

The driver and passengers seem unaware of the dangers involved in driving this way. Their goal appears to be to showcase the might of their SUV, portraying the Scorpio N as a vehicle capable of going anywhere. However, medians often contain drainage gaps, and the likelihood of the SUV’s wheels getting stuck in one is high.

If that happens, the men standing through the sunroof and hanging out of the window could lose their balance, fall off the vehicle, and be injured. If there are other vehicles approaching from behind, they wouldn’t have enough time to react, as the SUV is in the rightmost lane, typically used for overtaking and high-speed driving.

The Mahindra Scorpio N seen in the video is registered in Haryana, and this isn’t the first time such a stunt has been filmed in the state. Similar videos have surfaced before, and in many cases, the police have tracked down the owners and passengers involved, taking action against them. We hope the same happens in this case. The driver was clearly putting his own life and lives of the occupants and other road users by doing such stunts.

Sunroofs

Sunroofs are primarily designed to improve air circulation within vehicles. They are not particularly suited for Indian weather conditions. Many people are unaware of how to properly use this feature, which leads some to believe that sunroofs are meant to be opened for standing, allowing the wind to hit their faces. It is actually illegal and under the Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) of 1988, section 184 prohibits driving in a manner that endangers public safety, encompassing behaviors like standing inside a moving vehicle to look out of a sunroof.

Driving with the windows open at high speeds can direct airflow into the eyes, potentially causing discomfort or harm. Conversely, sunroofs are intended to recirculate air within the vehicle without causing excessive wind disturbance.
