We have seen people, stuck in Bengaluru traffic, attend online meetings. We have seen them peel vegetables, and now a Bengaluru woman was caught on camera working on a laptop while driving through the city's traffic. The incident prompted Bengaluru traffic police to issue a stern warning against such risky behaviour.
On X, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Traffic North, Bengaluru, posted a video showing a woman balancing her laptop on the steering wheel while driving. The police also shared a picture showing the woman being penalised for the violation. The DCP Traffic North wrote, "Work from home, not from a car while driving."

The clip went viral, with many sharing their opinions. While some criticised the woman for the act, others asked the police to arrest her employer.
A person wrote, "Thanks for dealing with this stupid woman endangering lives out there."

Sharing a picture of a government vehicle, this person demanded the "same promptness in booking" them as well
We would be very happy if you show the same promptness in booking this vehicle as well

The Bengaluru traffic woes are not new. Last week, a man rode a pillion on a bike of the courier service Porter after he failed to get a cab.
On X, the man posted a picture in which he was seen sitting behind a Porter employee, as seen through the reflection of the helmet worn by the rider.
"Had to porter myself to the office today cuz no ola uber," he wrote.

The Porter app allows people to send goods within a city, but the man unlocked another way to use it.
