No matter how many years go by, there are still times when one is shocked by the sheer atrocities one sees on the road. Unfortunately, there are many motorcycle users whose brains simply switch off when they get on the bike. Some believe themselves to be above the rules, others above physics, others above the law… it’s all a matter of taste.
But the case that has brought Italy to its feet goes one step further because of how unusual it is, the circumstances and because there was a person who recorded it and uploaded it to social media. It is a short video but it is hair-raising, and this time the user is going 120 on the motorway, he is not in “race mode” and he is even wearing a helmet. The problem is that he is carrying a child in front of him and without a helmet!!!
Yes, as incredible as it sounds, as alarming as it seems and with consequences that are better not to think about. The child is in the front, held between his legs and arms. A position that, let us remember, is prohibited and that is that both in Italy and here, for a child to be able to ride a motorcycle, in addition to having to wear a helmet, he must reach the passenger footrests or use the appropriate adapters, but he can never ride in front of the driver.
This is how the worst motorcycle user of 2024 behaves
About the brilliant host, who we assume will also be nominated for the Father of the Year award, we don’t know much more than the fact that he was filmed in the province of Naples, but that’s all we know. Perhaps after this public denunciation by the Welcome To Napoli account, the Italian authorities will get to work to find him and give him what he deserves.
Although it is true that even applying the full weight of the law through fines and all kinds of sanctions, what one feels like doing to an undesirable being like this would also entail legal penalties. Let’s hope that in these remaining months of 2024 there is no idiot who takes away the title of worst motorcycle user.
