Someone Proudly Filmed a Motorbike Escorting PMDs & PABs on The Road

It’s 2020, and you’re still reading articles about PMDs.

Some wondered if the PMD would become extinct like the dodo after it was banned on all footpaths and roads last year.

Despite the ban and the heavy punishment in place for offenders, PMD riders continued to grace our streets and roads with their speedy devices.

Their ability to take joyrides was somewhat impeded by the circuit breaker, but now that everyone’s going back out again, PMD riders are back, doing what they do best.

Many PMD riders seem to have a desire to not only break the law but be caught for breaking the law.

That’s why you see so many of them recording themselves riding their devices on the roads and then posting it online with some cool rap music so that the classmate they have a crush on will be impressed.

One such video made the rounds on social media recently after it was posted to the Facebook page SG Road Vigilante – SGRV.

The video shows a motorcyclist riding along with several other PMD and power-assisted bicycle (PAB) riders at night, or in the early hours of the morning when the roads were empty.

The youths can be seen riding along Thomson Road, Sungei Road, and later on the East Coast Parkway (ECP).

Whenever the cameras were on them, the riders tried to look as cool as possible, which is the only possible explanation for this:

Flashing the middle finger while riding? So badass.

Flouted Safe Distancing Rules As Well

Breaking one law wasn’t enough for this group of juveniles, it seems, as they can be seen smoking and chatting at the end of the video without wearing masks.

They also disregarded the limit for social gatherings, as there were at least seven of them, including the cameraperson.

Netizen Reaction

Netizens condemned the riders for breaking the rules, adding that irresponsible riders like them are the reason why those who actually need these devices are unable to use it now.

Some were too enamoured by the Malay rap song that played in the background to criticise the riders.

If these riders are caught and convicted, they could be fined up to $2,000 and/or jailed for up to three months, and no background music is going to save them from that, no matter how catchy it is.
