A viral video circulating on Indonesian social media shows motorcyclists taking extreme risks to escape a traffic jam by crawling under a container truck stopped at a red light.
The clip, shared on Dec. 15 on social media, shows five motorbikes passing beneath the truck from both directions in just 13 seconds. The person filming from inside a car can be heard clapping and laughing as the scene unfolds. The video was posted with the caption “Amazing Indonesia” and quickly drew widespread attention online, according to MPN.
Many viewers condemned the behavior as reckless, with some saying the riders were “treating their lives like a joke.” Others warned of the danger, noting that motorcyclists should avoid even a truck’s blind spots, let alone crawling underneath it. “If the vehicle moves forward, you could be crushed,” one commenter wrote.
Some social media users said the incident took place in Tanjung Priok, north of Jakarta, an area known for severe congestion, particularly around the port where large numbers of container trucks operate. The exact location, however, has not been independently verified.
