A video, showing a group of youths taking to the roads on personal mobility devices (PMDs) and power-assisted bicycles (PABs) after dark, went viral last month (July 13).

The video, edited with hip-hop music, garnered over 2,300 shares on Facebook.

The youths received backlash online for putting other motorists' safety at risk and disregarding the rules and regulations.

The car plate number of the motorcycle is visible in the video and the riders were not putting on their face masks as well.
