Women Seen Sitting on Sunroof of Moving SUV in Mumbai; Viral Video Triggers Road Safety Debate
Incident on Western Express Highway raises concerns over traffic rules, civic sense, and public safety.
A viral video showing two women sitting on the sunroof of a moving SUV in Mumbai has sparked widespread criticism and renewed conversations about road safety and public responsibility. The video, shared on Reddit with the caption “Sunroof turned into Maruti Gypsy”, shows the SUV driving through evening traffic on the Western Express Highway near Oberoi Mall in Goregaon.
In the video, the women appear relaxed—waving and enjoying the ride—seemingly unaware of the potential danger to themselves and others on the road. Viewers also pointed out that several two-wheeler riders seen in the video were without helmets, highlighting broader issues of traffic violations in the city.
Public Reaction and Concern
Netizens strongly condemned the behaviour:

- “These modern people are so cringe and they don’t even realise it,” one user wrote.
- Another commented, “Don’t these people read or watch the news? How careless and ignorant!”
- Some even demanded stricter regulations, with one user stating, “This should be banned actually. This is a safety concern for people around.”
A detailed comment on civic responsibility read:
“Civic sense is the awareness and responsibility for public spaces and community well-being, encompassing respect for public property, following rules, and maintaining cleanliness… It involves self-discipline and consideration for others.”
Not an Isolated Case
This incident follows a similar case earlier this month, where the son of Jharkhand’s Health Minister was fined for standing on the sunroof of a moving SUV in a viral video.
