Are They A Daredevil or Just an Idiot?

On the evening of Thursday, November 24, Izham Sonny determined to share the most thrilling “car‑pool moment” of his life. He posted a one‑minute clip on Facebook that showed a PMD (personal mobility device) rider squeezing between a van and a car on Mandai Avenue—before a legendary chase unfolded.

What the Video Shows

• The rider starts by threading a narrow groove that would make any alley‑way stuntman jealous.
• Just when the cyclist thinks he’s a secret superhero, a motorcycle‑riding LTA officer (all capes and no capes, just a helmet) is seen in hot pursuit from behind.
• In true “daredevil” fashion, the rider speeds onto a pedestrian walkway, leaving the officer to wonder whether he should keep chasing or just start a new game of “stay‑away.”

Under the Active Mobility Act, PMDs—no matter how shiny the electric scooter—are prohibited from crawling on public footpaths and roads. So the rider’s little stunt was both illegal and a textbook case of “look‑what‑I-can‑do.”

What the Netizens Are Saying

• “Wild as heck,” blurted one netizen, clearly thrilled by the edge‑of‑your‑seat spectacle.
• A second commenter noted the classic “you can admire it but don’t copy it” vibe, hinting that the ride might have been caught in the end.
• Meanwhile, supporters of the LTA officer applauded the professionalism and said they felt the officer had their safety in mind.
• Another user warned the rider, “You’ve got a talent for danger, but not for life‑preserving skills.”

Whether the PMD rider will re‑show up on the curb or will just keep it a viral story, one thing’s for sure: the footage has stirred a lively debate that swings from “I’m proud of that stunt” to “This had better end with the rider getting a lesson in safety.”

Conclusion

Izham’s quick post has turned a casual stroll into an online drama. For now, the crowd can only vote: daredevil thrill‑seeker or reckless fool? And if the officer finally caught the rider?—that’s a mystery that might unfold—or might not—depending on how daily traffic flows on Mandai Avenue.

Unexpected Chaos on the Streets

After a recent incident, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is reportedly diving deep into the investigation, as reported by AsiaOne. Their detectives have been called in for a full‑blown review.

Another Oddity Unfolds on the Road

• The shocker: a Certis Cisco officer allegedly kicked an e‑scooter rider who was zipping by at full speed.
• Instead of the usual paperwork, it turned into a spontaneous “kick‑and‑roll” moment.
• Drivers and commuters were left wondering if the scooter ballet was an accident or a new advertisement.

More than a Just‑Field Incident

The two events, while different in nature, show the city’s traffic chaos taking on a whole new form. While the LTA is on the case, the scooter scene remains a memorable slice of urban life.

The Bedok Reservoir Road Face‑to‑Face: PMD Riders and a Suspended Officer

Picture a sunny crossing on Bedok Reservoir Road, a place where scooters, bicycles, and the occasional pigeon decide who gets the right of way. In December 2019, a Facebook post by the not‑so‑anonymous “Singapore Road Vigilante” started a Twitter‑style debate that made its way into local news.

So What Happened?

• The incident involved a Personal Mobility Device (PMD) rider getting shoved by a police officer.
• Police later confirmed that the officer had been suspended.
• According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the rider was “evading enforcement officers” at the time.

Sounds like a plot twist worthy of a crime sitcom. Here’s why it matters in everyday traffic.

Familiarizing Yourself With the Rules

PMD riders—think scooters, mini‑bikes, or anything with a little wheel and a lot of hijinks—must remember a few simple rules:

• Road‑Only Access – They’re only allowed on streets or designated paths. Pedestrian lines? Those are scribbled for walkers.
• Speed Limit – A hard cap of 25 km/h applies. No, you can’t speed‑up on your way to the last slice of pizza.

When the Rules Are Broken

Breaking protocol doesn’t just mean you’ll get a polite pat on the shoulder; you’re looking at a $2,000 fine and/or up to three months in jail if you step onto:

• Pedestrian‑only paths
• Footpaths
• Any roads not designated for PMDs

Those who keep on breaking the same mantra face harsher penalties: a maximum fine of $5,000 and/or up to six months behind bars. Speeding is treated similarly.

Good News, Bad News, and Future Pointers

Feeling reckless? Remember the two‑step cycle: check the route (keep to roads) and stay below 25 km/h. The road rules aren’t just legal hoops—they’re there to keep street‑society vibes happy and safe.
