Early Morning Stunt on East Coast Parkway

In a jaw-dropping incident that could have had serious consequences, a motorcyclist was filmed performing a dangerous 'Superman' stunt along the East Coast Parkway (ECP) in Singapore during the early hours of December 26. The video, shared by netizen Raven Qiu on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page, shows the biker lying prone on the motorcycle with his feet lifted from the pedals, mimicking a flying position.

Community Reaction and Concern

Mr. Qiu, who is an administrator for the page, detailed that the stunt unfolded at approximately 2:59 AM on a Wednesday. He emphasized the inherent dangers of such reckless behavior, noting that a friend who shared the clip with him expressed serious concern about the stunt. The video indicates that the motorcyclist was part of a group, although it remains uncertain whether others joined in on the dangerous antics.

Probationary Rider Identified

In a notable twist, the motorbike displayed a 'P-Plate,' indicating that the rider is a new driver still in the probationary period following their recent passing of the driving exam. This plate must be exhibited for one year, signifying to other motorists that the driver is gaining experience. The visibility of the plate in the video raises potential consequences for the individual, as social media commenters pointed out that this could lead to a letter from the Traffic Police.

A Wider Problem of Reckless Stunts

Many commentators echoed Mr. Qiu’s alarm, with one warning that this reckless individual poses a threat to everyone on the road. The outcry isn’t surprising—reckless motorcycle stunts have gained notoriety in Singapore and beyond. For instance, a viral video from 2018 featured two women performing a similar stunt inside a tunnel, while a 20-year-old in Malaysia faced 200 hours of community service for the same antics in 2017.

Conclusion and Ongoing Monitoring

As motorcycle enthusiasts and law enforcement authorities keep an eye on such reckless behavior, it's clear that these dangerous stunts not only endanger the riders but also innocent road users. Will the authorities act upon this latest footage? Stay tuned as we follow this developing story!
