PMA user seen holding baby while crossing road, others spotted riding dangerously on bike and PMDs
Three separate incidents involving unsafe riding practices have raised concerns about personal mobility and bicycle safety on Singapore roads.
In one incident, a Stomper shared a photo of a personal mobility aid (PMA) user crossing a road in Yishun while holding a baby with one hand and steering the PMA with the other.
A woman was also seen riding pillion behind the man.
"Omg, one hand riding, the other hand carry a child," said the Stomper, who witnessed this on July 11 at about 3pm.
"Please stop this.
"One day, if an accident happens, that's it."
On the same day, Stomper Ling spotted a worrying sight at about 12.05pm near Block 106B Canberra Street, on the path towards Block 120C Canberra Crescent.
A woman was riding a Hello Ride shared bicycle with a passenger sitting in the front basket.
Separately, another Stomper shared a photo of two youths riding personal mobility devices (PMDs) in Hougang during peak hours.
He expressed frustration at what he described as reckless riding behaviour.
"These are the YP clowns that risk their lives and could cause accidents involving motorcyclists or drivers," said the Stomper.
"The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is deploying officers to disturb food delivery guys, but not tackling these kinds of problems.
"Nowadays, a lot of these YP with their modified devices on the road think they are damn smart or stylo."
He added that such riders are "irritating" to other road users.
"Hopefully, LTA can ban all these illegally modified devices and let the poor chaps doing food delivery have some peace of mind while trying to earn a living."
