[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A man hanging onto a moving passenger car on the Okgu overpass in Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do has sparked controversy.


On the 18th, a video titled "Hanging on the car and enjoying the speed, then slipping back through the sunroof!" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Han Moon-cheol TV.' In the video, a man is seen hanging onto the sunroof of a vehicle that appears to be a Forte Koup.


According to the video tipster, this incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. on the 14th at the Okgu overpass in Jeongwang-dong, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do.


The tipster explained, "My car was going about 60 km/h, and the other car seemed to be going around 90 to 110 km/h. Suddenly, I heard a loud roar as a red car with a modified muffler crossed over toward the center line and sped past my car at high speed."


The man who was hanging on reportedly re-entered the sunroof after running for quite some time. The tipster added, "If he had fallen and caused a secondary accident, it would have been truly terrifying. I couldn't see inside the car clearly, but if there had been only one driver, I don't think they would have played such a prank."


He also added, "Both the person on the roof and the driver looked like they were in their early 20s."


Lawyer Han Moon-cheol, who watched the video, said, "They were driving so fast like that; what would happen if the car swerved?"



Meanwhile, this behavior violates the Road Traffic Act. Article 39, Paragraph 2 of the Road Traffic Act stipulates that "All drivers must take necessary measures, such as properly opening and closing doors, to prevent passengers from falling while riding or getting on and off." Drivers may be subject to fines.
