We’ve all been advised against drunk driving or maybe not using phones while driving. But what is unusual is a warning sign from police to not use mobile phones while drinking.
Because that’s what happened somewhere in Jammu & Kashmir.
A Reddit user posted a picture of this signboard.
Uhh, okay! from r/india
The post soon started trending on Reddit and was also shared by former J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Twitter.

And the ‘warning’ resonated with many people on Twitter.
Drunk tweets and texts are a thing. That is sound advice.

They dont want people to text their ex while they are drunk .

This advice is extremely relevant. Drunk-texting is worse than an accident 🤣🤣

Okay. But 99% do use phones after drinking. Impossible to stop them afterwards 😂

It is more a relationship advice than traffic
— Nayak (@KhaleeqNaik) June 20, 2019
I guess they mixed the two advices.
— Vamick Sidiq (@_vamick) June 20, 2019
1. Don’t drink and drive.
2. Don’t use mobile phones and drive.
And ultimately they got: Don’t use mobile phones and drink.
Something like we used to primary mathematics!
Mobile पर बात करते रहे तो

दूसरा ज़्यादा पी जाएगा ।
That’s a really good advice if you ask me. You don’t want to make your fellow drinkers feel ignored. Mobile phones kill good conversations.

Surely they were drunk while printing that sign board

This advice is not bad either 😄
— just like that (@mattoo_rakesh) June 20, 2019
also, don’t drink and paint signboards!

Possibly bcoz the previous ones didn’t work so amalgamate those two :)?

Yeah drunk calls & texts are as harmful as drinking & driving

Happens when those supposed to stop drunken driving are high on spirits!

When was the last time you drank and texted someone?
