Woman rides side-saddle on bike: OK in other countries, but not in S'pore

STOMPer Han Wei saw this woman riding side-saddle on a motorcycle, which is prohibited in Singapore.

Said the STOMPer:

"I spotted this couple on my way home and it seems that the lady behind is sitting on the wrong side of the motorcycle.

"I understand that in Singapore, you need to place your legs on both sides of the motorcycle, unless this couple just could not be bothered.

"Maybe they are foreigners and they practise it in their own country, or maybe it was because the woman was wearing a skirt, so she wanted to sit sideways on the motorcycle."

Riding side-saddle is common in countries like Vietnam, India and Thailand, but it is illegal in Singapore.

@Soulgirl nice pathetic idiotic comment. Stomper is also reminding other commuters who reads stomp. What if other people saw this? What if they tried it? It could be the next trend. Have you thought of that?

STOMPer, u didn't understand much about that. Causes her auntie mother came. So need sit sideway with both leg together. Cannot open her both legs Liao.

It is a problem, for sitting like that ? I think same fate.

I guess foreigners now in Singapore becoming more and more agressive and rude.. So @commonjunks, if u can't bend the rule here in our country, go back from where u belong.. Have a life in ur own country and i think u can contribute more in doing that.. As what foolsh_2009 said: Don't talk COCK!!!!
