A motorcyclist in Ho Chi Minh City has been fined VND12.5 million (US$475) for dressing as the superhero Deadpool and riding a large motorcycle through busy streets to film social media videos. The police cited three violations: failure to wear a helmet, covering the motorcycle’s license plate, and riding without a valid driver’s license. The video of this stunt quickly spread online, catching wide attention and triggering police action.

The incident occurred on January 13, when traffic police brought attention to the case after a video surfaced of a masked individual in a full Deadpool costume navigating crowded roads. A companion followed to film the stunt, which was intended to capture social media views. Upon questioning, the rider confessed to staging the ride explicitly for online exposure.

Ho Chi Minh City authorities noted that similar instances have surged recently, with individuals breaking traffic laws to create viral content. These stunts often involve risky behaviors, such as riding hands-free or performing wheelies, and have been denounced by officials for endangering both the involved parties and the general public.

Moving forward, the traffic police have issued warnings that they will strictly enforce penalties on anyone caught breaking the law for social media fame. They emphasize that these actions are not only illegal but also pose severe risks to road safety. The authorities are determined to curb this trend and ensure public safety on the roads, reported VN Express.
