A Yamaha R1 owner wanted to take advantage of the quiet traffic on the Electonic City Flyover, a 6.2 mile expressway that goes around Bangaalore, India to drive out his motorcycle.
Even though there was comparatively little traffic on the street, he still had no clear path. It meandered between the vehicles and reached speeds of up to 300 km/h.
He posted the video on Instagram and received over 9.000 views, including the police. Sandeep Patil, police commissioner from Bangalore had the driver arrested and the motorcycle confiscated.
