A video clip uploaded to Facebook group SG Road Vigilante on Sunday also showed that he had a young child seated in front of him on the PMD. As the man rode his PMD on the road near Block 426 Jurong West Ave 1, he was seen slowing down and looking at the baby pram on his left before making a right turn on a T-junction.

The man's behaviour elicited reactions of disbelief, with a Facebook user asking: "What is he thinking?"Other netizens felt that the man's actions were outrageous."He is not only posing danger to himself and his children but to other road users as well. We see too many of these nowadays who seem to think that accident won't happen to them," another said."Give people a break, don't post this," a comment stated.

According to the Active Mobility Act, PMD users are prohibited from driving on both roads and public footpaths., and first-time offenders may face a fine of up to $2,000 and/or up to 3 months' jail term, if convicted.
