Ola S1 Pro Cruise Control Misused
This post comes from vishal.ahlawat.up20 on Instagram. It captures a rather concerning visual. There is an orange S1 Pro on the road. Its user has put it in cruise control. Simultaneously, he is wearing the helmet even though he is already on the road. Clearly, there is heavy traffic around him. This is obviously not how you are supposed to use this feature in any vehicle. Cruise control helps in enhancing the comfort and convenience of vehicle owners. But some people take it as an excuse to misuse it. That could turn fatal in no time. What is sad is that the man is not putting his hands back on the handlebar even after he is done wearing his helmet.

What We Think
We would like to highlight that this act is extremely perilous. Cruise control and other such features are only designed to improve the comfort and convenience of the users. Misusing these will simply lead to unsafe scenarios. In fact, flouting traffic regulations is one of the major causes of accidents on the roads. Therefore, we must strive to stay away from such acts. Moreover, we must report people who are creating such nuisance in public places so that proper action can be taken against them. Let us follow traffic rules and become responsible road users.
