As of April 2020, Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) has been legally banned on roads, footpaths and pedestrian-only paths. 

However, there are still sightings of PMDs on our roads, often rode by young punks (YPs).

Watch this bunch of YPs ride that couldn't give a damn, ride their illegally modified PMDs on the road:

What Happened?

The video above was captured by a female passenger of the cam car.

3 YPs were riding their illegally modified PMDs along Brickland Road, travelling as fast as 70km/h and overtaking vehicles around them.

And obviously, none of them gave a shit as they rode while clad in dark-coloured clothing, without any lights and personal protective equipment.

Below is the following conversation that the female passenger and cam car driver had regarding the YPs on their PMDs:

Female passenger: "What are they doing ah? What's that a bicycle ah?"

Cam car driver: "It's a PMD. There are 3 of them."

Female passenger: "So ridiculous! They think they very funny issit??"

Stuck At Traffic Light

Not long after, the YPs came to a halt at a red light, with the cam car directly behind them.

And after they spotted the female passenger filming them, they quickly got off the road by paddling to a nearby pedestrian pavement. 

Upon moving off at a green light signal, the YPs reportedly scolded a bunch of vulgarities loudly at the cam car.
