New Delhi: Cab drivers in Delhi claimed that it’s mandatory for them to carry condoms in their first-aid boxes. They claimed that they are even penalised by police if “found without condoms in their first aid kits.”
“If a pressure pipe in car bursts, condom can stop leakage for some time. If it rains, it can cover shoes. Can be tourniquet in case of an injury,” according to a few drivers these are the situations where condoms come handy too.
However, as per Delhi Motor Vehicle Rules (1993) and The Central Motor Vehicles Act (1989), it’s necessary for all the taxis to carry a mandatory first-aid box. However, there is no mandate about keeping condoms in the kit.
Meanwhile, Twitter has the funniest reactions:
Cab drivers in Delhi say they've been carrying condoms, besides other medicines, in their first aid kits as they're penalised by police if found without condoms in their first aid kits. Say "We've never asked reason but we get challans if found without condoms in first aid kits." pic.twitter.com/IPTzHJQ8ip
