The ‘Mat Reps’ have notoriously been making headlines even more frequently these days and this time we found yet another news of a motorcyclist performing dangerous stunts on the road.
On Monday, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) took to Twitter and Facebook to announce that they are currently looking for a man who dangerously rode a Honda EX5 motorcycle with another woman sitting at the back, both decked out in their blue traditional Raya clothes.
In the video 29 second video shared by PDRM, the man can be seen doing a ‘wheelie’ with his motorbike, where only one wheel is on the road while the woman clings on to his waist.
According to Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) the incident took place at Pasir Puteh, Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Bukit Aman JSPT has alerted the Kelantan branch to take action to find the motorist as the stunt is violates Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987.
Motorist Lifts One Leg Up While Doing ‘Wheelie’
As if lifting one tire off the road wasn’t dangerous enough, the man also lifts one of leg up for a short while during the ‘wheelie’. He must have done this before guessing from how confident and brave he is to be riding the motorcycle so riskily with a passenger at the back.
The police have urged the man to turn himself in.
In addition, the Facebook post made by JSPT said that anyone with knowledge regarding the incident should contact the Kelantan Contingent JSPT or any adjacent police station as soon as possible.
