He climbed on top of the pile of wooden boards and lay flat in a pose that resembled Superman. Stretching his arms forward to hold the handlebars, he steered the rickshaw while appearing to “hover” over the road. The scene was captured by a fellow commuter and has been widely shared online.
The video, which has received thousands of views, left many people amused, confused, and even impressed. While some praised the driver’s courage and skill, others expressed concern over the danger of performing such a risky stunt on a busy flyover.
Comments on the video reflect mixed reactions. One user wrote, “I see a hardworking man trying to provide for his family. This isn’t funny at all.” Another said, “What stands out is the editor’s choice of the perfect background music for the video.” However, some viewers were critical, saying, “This is not funny; riding like this is extremely dangerous.” One user joked, “When I was young, I dreamed of driving my bed on the road like him!”
The video has sparked discussions online about the risks and resourcefulness of the driver’s actions.
