For years, Malaysia has seen a high number of road fatalities caused by either human error or plain recklessness, with a majority of them involving motocyclists.
A video which recently went viral on Twitter showed a delivery rider riding his motorcycle in a dangerous manner, eventually leading to his arrest.
M’sian delivery rider seen riding motorbike with no hands
In a 7-second clip shared on Twitter, it showed a man clad in a Foodpanda uniform and riding his motorbike at a considerably fast speed.
All throughout the video, both of his hands weren’t on the handlebars and instead were used to make dancelike gestures.
Furthermore, he was also seen on top of the motorcycle’s storage box, with both feet perched on the seat.
