A group of Albanian girls stopped traffic to record a TikTok video

On social media, we can see various situations that influencers get into in order to record a video or a picture. One such happened in Albania where a group of Albanian girls decided to make a video for TikTok.

Many people try to do more nonsense for a click, which can really irritate others. Sometimes, without thinking, they put themselves and others in danger. One such video was posted on Reddit.

The video shows a group of young girls stopping traffic in a Mercedes E-Class and dancing with a bottle of champagne in their hands. The incident angered other drivers on a very busy road who called the police who arrested the participants in the event.

A police report states that the participants in the event, due to illegal actions, caused a traffic jam. Police confiscated the Mercedes, and the 21-year-old driver was fined 50,000 Lek ( $482 or €410 ). To make matters worse, the driver did not have a driver’s license, so the investigation will be extended to the person who gave her the car.

This is not the only case, because recently the police initiated proceedings against the drivers of Audi, BMW and Range Rover for stopping traffic and playing loud music.
