In a world where road safety should be paramount, a recent video captured the dangerous antics of two youngsters riding an ebike on the road without any protective gear.
This reckless behavior has alarmed netizens and raised questions about the responsibility and awareness of smaller vehicle riders.
The Alarming Video
The video in question, uploaded on Instagram on 30th September by user @genevievewijaya, showcased two youths navigating busy roads on a small e-bike. What immediately caught the attention of viewers was the unconventional and perilous way they were riding.
The riders appeared to be engaged in a precarious balancing act. They were seated in an awkward position and bending their knees all the way down, appearing as though the ebike was far too small to fit the both of them.
they were also seen speeding on the roads and even overtaking the camcar at one point, before the YP Beng then pointed a middle finger at the camcar.
One of the most glaring highlights in this video was the absence of helmets. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) clearly mandates that protective headgear must be worn when riding e-bikes. The absence of helmets not only violated LTA rules but also exposed the riders to immense danger.
Concerns of the Onlookers
The video stirred concern not only because of the immediate danger to the riders themselves but also due to the potential risks they posed to other road users. It was evident that the two individuals were riding recklessly, seemingly oblivious to the consequences of their actions.
Instead of receiving applause or admiration for their daredevilry, the two riders became the subject of laughter and ridicule. The occupants of the car couldn’t contain their amusement at the bizarre sight before them.
“He better pay attention,” one of them commented, as any lapse in judgement on the riders’ part would result in them probably losing both their kneecaps.
Netizens’ comments
- OMG that is so dangerous!! And they look super underage 🥶😰
- Really only youngsters can achieve a knee bend like this. Even if i down 3 bottles of glucosamine a day i can’t be doing that.
- ….oh my, so dangerous….and they probably think they are cool
- But tbh v dangerous becox zam brake only the knee caps first to go 😩 And from the footage it looks like they are going pretty fast like even faster than the car.
