Boy Dangerously Stands on Side of Moving Pickup Truck While Being Held by Driver in Batu Caves

While driving in Malaysia, you’d bound to witness road users who don’t adhere to the traffic rules or worse, those who don’t follow traffic rules while with their children.

These include motorcyclists who bring small children on a ride without a helmet, drivers who let their kids put out their heads outside of the car’s sunroof and so on.

Well, another video of a road user disregarding traffic rules while with children has made its rounds on social media and is maybe one of the most dangerous stun yet.

Shared by Inforoadblock, a couple of dashcam videos from different angles show a white pickup truck driving along a street in Batu Caves while having a child standing on the side of the driver-side door.

The boy, wearing a yellow shirt and blue shorts can be seen hanging on dangerously while the pickup truck is moving, with the driver’s right hand wrapped around the boy being the only safeguard keeping the boy from falling.

Besides that, the video also showed a woman sitting at the back of the pickup truck while the vehicle was moving. The relationship between the woman, child and driver of the vehicle is unknown.

According to the post, the incident happened at Jalan TIB 1/4 Taman Industri Bolton in Batu Caves yesterday (26 April 2023). You can watch the whole video here:
