Due to the footpath ban, errant PMD riders are now something of a dying breed.
There clearly aren’t as many speeding PMDs as there used to be. In the olden days, and by that I mean before November 5, one would have to look both ways before crossing the road, and then again before stepping on footpaths.
Now, though, things are looking up for pedestrians.
However, we still see a few PMD riders on our roads and footpaths, persisting in the face of legal adversity.
Many of them get away with it because it’s hard to track every single PMD rider in the country.
So, when an enforcement officer finds one of these lawbreaking riders, he will do anything to catch them, even if it means employing a flying kick.
Officer Kicks Speeding PMD Rider Off Device To Stop Him & Sends Him Flying
A video that shows an enforcement officer kicking a speeding PMD rider off his device is making the rounds on social media.
The dashcam footage, which was uploaded to SG Road Vigilante’s Facebook page, shows how the officer sent the speeding rider flying at a junction near Bedok Reservoir.
Here’s the video:
As you can see, enforcement officers in neon yellow vests were stationed at one of the corners of the traffic junction, presumably so they could spot and catch offending motorists and PMD riders.
And when one of the officers saw a PMD rider speeding towards the junction, around the 19 sec mark, he sprang into action, racing towards the incoming rider.
The office then attempts to block him off, but the PMD rider doesn’t slow down.
You’d expect the officer to chase after him or hold him back, but he probably got tired of catching PMD riders every day and unleashed a flying kick, sending the PMD rider flying onto the pavement near the traffic light.
Damn, that seems… dangerous.
Netizen response
Some netizens supported the officer’s use of violence, saying the PMD rider chose to break the law and had to face the consequences.
Others, however, felt concerned about the rider’s safety and felt that the officer went too far.
I have to agree with the second group. The rider could have sustained some serious injuries as a result of the officer’s kick. Was it really necessary to kick him off his speeding scooter? Was the rider endangering any lives?
I personally think the officer was a little too violent and dangerous in his approach. LTA is yes to respond to this incident, but it’ll be interesting to see what they have to say.
