People should adhere to traffic laws for a safe journey and to avoid such incidents. Youngsters who participate in such races put their lives at risk, as Indian roads are not designed for high speeds. They should follow the law, ride their bikes or other vehicles within speed limits, and observe traffic rules.
One of the internet users said, "When will Indian people realise that racing or riding bike at high speeds is not meant for Indian roads or traffic. Please go to a track if you wish to race bikes."
