If an accident had occurred, the consequences could have been drastic, especially for the young children riding the bike.

According to regulations by the Land Transport Authority, having passengers under the age of 16 is also not allowed.
As a result, netizens have urged traffic police and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) to intervene in the matter.

Hopefully, the family will exercise more caution on the roads in the future.
For the rest of us, this can also serve as a reminder to adhere to road safety regulations, especially when it comes to travelling with young children.
