A couple recently came under fire for riding a personal mobility aid (PMA) across the road with their two young children despite the pedestrian light being red. A video posted to Facebook group Singapore Road Vigilante on Monday (Aug 26) shows the family in question at a pedestrian crossing in Bukit Merah. The father can be seen talking on the phone while they wait to cross the road alongside other pedestrians. Just a few seconds later, however, the man drives his PMA onto the road while the traffic light is still red. A car is seen zooming past just in front of the family as they ride across. They then stop in the middle of the road, where the divider is, and cross to the other side when the light turns green. Some netizens criticised the parents for putting their children in danger. One netizen commented: «I really feel sad for the children.» «A tragedy waiting to happen,» wrote another commentor. A netizen also commented: «These are the people who caused nothing but trouble!» Other netizens pointed out how cases of PMA misuse had increased and questioned what was being done to address them.
