'Even if You Can Write 300-word Essay': Pune Car's Warning to Keep Distance Goes Viral

The Pune Porsche case has become a hot topic in Indian media, dominating conversations across the country. From the 17-year-old driver’s release on bail by the Juvenile Justice Board to the blame being shifted to their family driver for the tragic accident that claimed the lives of two 24-year-old IT professionals, the case is rife with drama.

Adding a quirky twist to the narrative, a driver in Pune took a creative approach to road safety by displaying a unique message on the rear of their car. The message humorously quipped, “Keep a safe distance. Even if you could pen down a 300-word essay.” This clever remark, spotted on a car cruising along the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, swiftly gained traction online, sparking a flurry of amused reactions from netizens.

Take a Look:

Praising the ingenuity of Punekars, one user commented, “Pune people are intelligent and creative and have always stood up against any kind of injustice. Pune rocks!” Another simply expressed their desire to have a similar message on their own vehicle.

This isn’t the first time the 300-word essay reference has been used in response to the Pune Porsche case. Previously, an essay-writing competition was organised in protest against the perceived leniency in the punishment given to the accused. Held at the same location as the accident in Kalyani Nagar, the competition saw around 100 participants. The topics ranged from hypothetical situations like “What would I do if my father was a builder?” to serious issues like “How to build better roads to avoid accidents.”
