Mahindra Thar Crossing a Dam
The video has been uploaded by Prateek Singh on YouTube. He keeps coming up with such content to raise awareness among car owners regarding the importance of road safety and safety ratings in cars. This time around, he found a clip of a Thar moving on the edge of a dam dangerously. There doesn’t seem to be any reason for doing so. One must never trust the water, especially around dams as the flow could increase at any moment. There have been tons of such incidents in India already.

The 5-door version of the Thar has been spotted testing multiple times and the launch might well be around the corner.

But with the bigger and roomier 5-door Thar, these issues will be taken care of. What are your thoughts on this?
