In a lighthearted moment captured on camera, a young boy was seen using a National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) speedometer, meant for vehicles, to measure something entirely unexpected, his own running speed. The adorable and inventive stunt has now gone viral, leaving the internet amused.
In the clip, the boy sprints enthusiastically on an empty stretch of the national highway while another child sits on the roadside railing, cheering him on. As he runs past the digital speed display, the machine, which usually flashes warnings at speeding motorists, picks up his movement and shows 22 km/h, briefly flickering to 23 km/h, effectively turning into the boy’s personal fitness tracker.
