Netizens want police to take action against Penang Bridge superbikers

GEORGE TOWN: Social media users have called for the police to take action on a group of superbike riders who performed dangerous stunts along the second Penang Bridge.

In a 44-second video which has since gone viral, the bikers can be seen riding at high speeds with the speedometer on one of the bikes shown hitting 285kph at one point.

Several bikers were seen pulling “wheelies”, seemingly oblivious to the danger and two also exchanged fist bumps in the video posted on Facebook.

They did not travel on the motorcycle lane throughout the journey, and it is learned that the video was posted by one of the bikers on social media two weeks ago.

In 2020, a 28-year-old male nurse was arrested for riding his motorcycle at high speed on Penang Bridge.

A video showed that his bike crossed the bridge in a little over two minutes.

Police subsequently launched an investigation following reports received, and tracked the suspect to his home at Rifle Range Flats, where he was arrested.
