On Sunday (19 May), the SG Road Vigilante – SGRV Facebook page posted a video involving several riders on what appears to be e-bikes, or power-assisted bikes, along West Coast Highway.
The riders were seen going at high speed along the highway in the early hours of the night, with no safety gear on.
Netizens expressed dismay and anger, with some calling for stricter enforcement regarding road rules.
According to SGRV, the incident occurred on the West Coast Highway at around 1.10am on Sunday morning.

The group of riders then speed pass a large lorry, spreading across three lanes, before riding off into the night.
From the video, it is evident the riders were not wearing helmets or any protective gear while riding.
After watching the clip, many Facebook users were unsurprised by the riders’ reckless behaviour.
