Man Plays Guitar Atop Moving Tata Safari in Dharamshala (Video)
Today, the sunroof has become that feature which is now considered an almost absolute necessity by new car buyers. Almost every automotive giant in the country is offering electric sunroofs on its cars. Now, although these sunroofs are mainly designed to let in fresh air and sunlight inside the vehicle, people in India use them to come out and stand while the vehicle is in motion. What's worse is that some people are going many steps ahead and doing dangerous stunts while coming out of the sunroof.
Man plays guitar sitting on the roof of a Safari
Recently, we came across an image in which a person was seen sitting on the roof of a moving Tata Safari. What was even more shocking about this unsafe act was that this person was playing guitar while sitting on the left side of this moving car. From the image, we can note that this particular Safari has a registration plate from Jammu and Kashmir. Now, whether this person is a local resident or a tourist is unknown.
Why is it dangerous?
It should not need an explanation, but if anyone is wondering how this act is dangerous, the answer is that the person is sitting on the extreme left edge of the roof of this Safari. Just in case the driver makes a right turn, it can cause the person with the guitar to fall. We can note that this person is not protected by any string or safety gear, which makes it extremely dangerous.
What's the need to do this stunt?
Most likely, this person was sitting on the roof of this Safari with his guitar for a video. Generally, people like these shoot such videos of themselves doing such stunts on social media platforms to get views, likes, and followers. However, they do not understand that such actions, at some point, can cause serious accidents. As unfortunate as it may be, people like these do not seem to understand the risks of such stunts.
Not the first time

The above incident of the guitarist on the roof of the Tata Safari is not an isolated instance. We have seen numerous similar incidents online in which people have engaged in such stunts. Recently, a video became viral on the internet in which a person was seen standing out of the roof of a Mahindra XUV300 sub-compact SUV for a joyride.
Now, what was most unique about this incident was that as soon as a complaint was registered against this particular car and its driver, the police authorities sprang into action quickly and traced the vehicle owner using its registration plate and tried to contact the owner via phone. The owner at the time did not pick up the call; however, the next day, he was summoned by the Joint RTO, and his driving licence was suspended, and the registration of his vehicle was also cancelled.
Why don't you stand out of the sunroof?

Recently, a video showing why exactly standing out of the sunroof is dangerous was shared online. In this particular clip, two men were seen standing out of the sunroof of a Kia Carnival luxury MPV. What happened next was that they were enjoying the ride out of the moving vehicle. However, the driver of the vehicle suddenly pressed the brakes. As a result of this, these people lost their balance and hit the roof of the vehicle with their heads.
