Superbike Gang Slammed for Using Main Lanes On Penang Bridge

A recent viral video has sparked public concern after a group of superbike riders was caught using the main vehicle lanes on the Penang Second Bridge instead of the designated motorcycle lane.

The footage, captured via dashcam and shared by the Penang Kini Facebook page, has since gained over 196,000 views and more than 1,500 reactions. The clip clearly shows the bikers cruising in the middle of the car lanes, bypassing the lane reserved for motorcycles on the far left.

The incident, believed to have occurred on the older stretch of the bridge has sparked criticism in the comments, with many Malaysians calling out the superbike group for ignoring traffic laws.

One Penang resident claimed the riders not only skipped the motorcycle lane but also ran several red lights across the island, describing their behaviour as reckless and entitled.

Another commenter slammed the group’s actions as arrogant, while a local driver shared that one of the superbikes nearly collided with his vehicle due to their dangerous riding.

For many viewers, the video was yet another reminder of the growing frustration over road users who treat public infrastructure like a racetrack.

Police are currently investigating the incident, which reportedly took place last Friday at 4:35 p.m., according to South Seberang Perai district police chief Superintendent Jay January Siowou.


He confirmed that the group of high-powered motorcyclists was en route from Batu Kawan to Batu Maung when the footage was captured.

“Their actions were extremely dangerous, not only to themselves but also posed a threat to the safety of other road users.

“This case will be investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act for reckless driving that endangers others.

“The police would like to emphasize that the safety of all road users is a shared responsibility,” he said in a statement, urging the public with information on the incident to contact the South Seberang Perai District Police Headquarters (IPD) Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division at 04-5858222 to aid the investigation.
