Young motorcyclist handed probation for risky stunt on expressway
A 21-year-old rider has been placed on probation after performing a dangerous 'Superman' manoeuvre on the East Coast Parkway, with video evidence showing him lying prone across his motorcycle for an extended period.

The motorcyclist was convicted following an investigation that uncovered GoPro footage recorded on his own camera, which captured him lying horizontally across the bike with his feet off the rear controls for at least 16 seconds while riding on the expressway.
The video evidence, retrieved by police during their investigation, provided clear documentation of the high-risk stunt. Such manoeuvres pose significant dangers to the rider and other road users, reducing vehicle control and increasing the likelihood of accidents.
The probation sentence reflects the court's concerns about reckless riding behaviour on Singapore's major expressways. Authorities have intensified enforcement against dangerous riding stunts in recent years, as such acts violate traffic regulations and endanger public safety.
The case serves as a reminder to motorcyclists about the legal consequences of performing risky stunts on public roads. Traffic police continue to monitor for similar violations and remind riders that dangerous manoeuvres can result in criminal charges, fines, and imprisonment in addition to probation orders.
