Man to be charged with rash act after allegedly driving with 2 children seated atop car boot

Another video on Reddit, posted on Oct 22 and since taken down, appears to show the children sitting on the car boot as part of a TikTok video.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the man had driven the car with the children seated atop its rear along Dairy Farm Lane at about 10.40am on Oct 20, 2025, while the act was being filmed, the police said.

The man’s identity was then established, and he was arrested.

If found guilty, he can be jailed for up to six months, fined up to $2,500, or both.

The Traffic Police said on March 25 that children must be properly secured in appropriate child restraints or car seats when travelling in vehicles.

They added that children must also not be placed in dangerous positions, such as on car boots.

“Such reckless behaviour not only violates traffic laws but (also) puts vulnerable young lives at serious risk of injury or death,” they said.

“Parents and caregivers are reminded of their responsibility to ensure children’s safety on the roads at all times.”
