Akshay Kumar has signed up for a road safety campaign, Sadak Suraksha Jeevan Raksha, in order to create awareness about the importance of following traffic rules. As part of the campaign, Akshay posted a series of hilarious videos on his social media handle, in which he dressed up as a traffic police and was seen reprimanding those violating guidelines on the street.
"Road kisi ke baap ka nahi hai," Akshay said in the videos that primarily highlighted the callous nature of citizens observed on road. In the first video, a couple drove down a no-entry sign while a young guy casually rode in his jeep while talking over the phone in the second. Forget about wearing a seat-belt, of course. The next video depicted a common sight as a young guy along with two girls rode through a busy street - and do we even need to add that neither wore helmets. Well, in all three cases, Akshay, the policeman, stopped the perpetrators and asked for a fine after an amusing retort, certainly.

Consequently, Akshay, in his tweets said that it is always better to be safe than sorry because breaching road rules are a major cause of concern. He also elaborated on the "shocking" number of accidents, triggered through excessive speed and crossing intersections before the correct traffic signal.
