Potholes, lack of cautionary signage, not enough light, dug up patches... complaints against our roads are many, most of them justified. Yet, at times, it is drivers themselves who endanger themselves and others through rash, casual or simply dangerous riding and driving. Recently, a young woman suffered after the man she  was riding pillion with decided to try a stunt on our roads. A video of the incident, now circulating online, shows the woman appearing relaxed as the motorcycle moves along the road. The man unexpectedly accelerates and attempts a wheelie by lifting the bike’s front wheel off the ground.

This stunt results in the woman struggling to maintain balance. She slips backward on the bike and is trapped in the narrow gap between the seat and the rear tyre of the moving motorcycle.
