Netizens replied to Sachin Ghorpade’s post and sought action against the car driver as well for jumping the signal and posing a risk to other commuters on the road.

Definitely! Good action sir!

Any action on the cab driver for jumping the signal and endangering the lives of the others?

If the fault is on both sides, I guess both sides should be penalised.
