Immediately after the incident, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department issued a warning. It stated that during monsoon and winter, snakes and other reptiles look for safe places. Many times these animals can hide inside car engines or among the wheels. Therefore, during this time, the entire car should be inspected once before driving.
As soon as the video went viral on social media, many people commented. Usually, on car's rearview mirror, it is written, "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear." Mimicking that comment, one person wrote, "Objects in the mirror are poisonous than they appear." Another user wrote that if the snake had jumped onto a nearby bike, a major accident could have occurred.
