The viral video of a couple performing a dangerous bike stunt on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, with the woman sitting on the rider’s lap without helmets, led to a ₹53,000 fine by Noida police, reflecting strict enforcement under the Motor Vehicles Act, 2019, which increased penalties to deter reckless behavior.

This incident echoes a 2023 study by the Indian Journal of Traffic Management, showing a 30% rise in two-wheeler accidents due to stunts, with helmetless riding contributing to 60% of fatalities, highlighting the public health risks prompting such heavy fines.

Social media outrage, amplified by the video’s spread, pressured authorities to act, a trend also seen in a 2022 case where a Delhi stunt video resulted in a ₹47,000 fine, suggesting a growing societal intolerance for traffic violations.
