Actor Faysal Quraishi has posted a reel calling out the “greatest displays of ignorance [he’d] ever seen” — people dropping kids off at school. He said these people forget that there are kids in the car and drive irresponsibly, “honking horns like crazy people…and racing to get to the school’s gate first”.

“There are many other examples of ignorance, and not every drives like this, but too many people do,” he said. This, Quraishi said, especially pains him because the kids watching this chaos are on their way to learn.

The Case No. 9 actor said there also those who think the gate of their kids’ school is the perfect place for a leisurely chat, often as their vehicles — manned by drivers — block traffic. Quraishi said “distractions like these” during morning commutes ruin people’s entire days and so we all have to be mindful of our behaviour on the road. He also said it was “important to set a good example for our children”.
