In a breath-taking adventurous gig, a 12-year-old girl is seen riding an automatic-geared moped with her eyes closed using a double layered blindfold.

Diksha Joshi who hails from a small village called Jothri in Dungarpur district of west Indian state of Rajasthan, is an eighth-grade student.

A man first keeps a piece of cotton wool on the girl's eyes and ties a metal blinder around her eyes.

To make her life more difficult, the man ties another layer of a black cloth mask on top the metal one, making sure that she is completely in the dark.

The expedition begins as he prompts the girl to start the engine. He is heard saying, “Okay Diksha, ready, start your engine, go.”

The adventurous girl moves forward slowly and as she picks up the pace, she lifts her feet up and balances the two-wheeler astonishingly.


Suddenly, on the empty road, she was riding on, a jeep whizzes by. But the girl fully uses her hearing sensor to keep a track of the right side of the lane and carefully moves forward.

Though many people praised her for the daredevilry, many also criticised the act saying, “This is a dangerous act. You are putting in line the life of a small girl who is not even permitted to drive at her age.”
