A video circulating on social media shows an elderly woman confronting a man riding a scooter on a footpath in Kozhikode. In the clip, the woman can be seen firmly asking the rider not to use the footpath and to ride on the road.
The incident took place near the Eranjippalam traffic signal in the city. The short video, shared on Reddit, has quickly grabbed attention online, with viewers praising the woman for standing up against traffic violations and showing courage despite her age.
After the elderly woman intervened, the man on the scooter had no choice but to stop and move back onto the road. Her firm stance and clear instructions left him little room to argue, forcing him to abandon riding on the footpath and continue safely on the proper
roadway.
People on social media have lauded her and many have commented that her actions serve as a reminder for riders to respect pedestrian spaces. Several users expressed hope that more citizens would follow her example and speak out against dangerous driving habits.

“Just wishing for 5-10 more people with half her guts,” one of the user said.
“A lady her age shouldn’t be fighting for her right to use the side walk but it is a shame that she has to,” added another.
“Ammachi is lucky. Nowadays people can be so rude and violent. Several news articles of road rage and violence for minor things are seen these days. If things went wrong the scooter guy could have pushed her aside or drove over her foot,” third user commented.
“I aspire to be like this ammachi,” said another.
