The Intelligent Transport Management Center (NIIM) has appealed to drivers who go live on TikTok while driving.
The agency provided the information to “Operative Information Center-OMM”, which reports that the center has observed drivers using mobile phones and starting TikTok livestreams while driving.
It said that, in recent times, drivers using mobile phones and going live on TikTok while driving have been observed:
“Given that driver inattention is one of the main causes of road traffic accidents on the capital’s roads, such behavior behind the wheel is dangerous.
When drivers repeatedly focus their attention on mobile phones, social media and livestreams instead of the road, the risk of an accident increases. Analysis of several traffic accidents recorded by surveillance cameras also indicates that some crashes occurred precisely because drivers were distracted.
Such drivers should understand that their desire to attract followers, earn likes or gain popularity on social media could cost other road users their lives or leave them seriously injured.”
In light of these concerns, the Intelligent Transport Management Center called on all drivers to act responsibly and stay attentive on the roads.
