Since being posted on Reddit six days ago, the footage has sparked a wave of concern about passenger safety and the need for stricter measures to prevent such incidents.

One user wrote, "There is no revive option in real life." Another commented, "The courage of the passenger to still sit in the car filming him."

"If it were me, I'd give him a clear warning. If he didn't stop, I'd have reported him to a traffic cop. This is too much," a third wrote. 

A fourth added, "I can't even walk properly while looking at my phone. How is he playing a game and driving at the same time?" A fifth user said, "How is this even allowed? Where are the traffic police when you need them?"
