Recently, a YouTuber from Noida, Nizamul Khan was arrested for performing stunts on the roads of Noida. Performing stunts on public roads is not a good idea by any means. If you really want to practice stunts or conduct races, you should look for a private property or a race track. Doing stunts on public roads can be dangerous in many ways. The rider is not only putting his own but others life in risk as well. When you see a person performing stunt on a public road, it might make them lose their concentration and that can lead to accident. There have been incidents in the past where riders have lost control on the motorcycle while performing stunts and ended up in an accident.
