A user named 'Kodagu Connect' shared an image of the signboard on social media, which read, "Urgent make an accident." The signboard is a poor translation of the Kannada phrase "Avasarave Apaghatakke Karana," which actually means "Overspeeding is the reason for accidents."
However, NDTV couldn't verify the authenticity of this viral image.
