Relaxed motorcyclist stuns drivers by riding high speed while sitting cross-legged

A relaxed motorcyclist stunned passing drivers by riding at high speed - while sitting cross-legged on the seat.

The daredevil was wearing flip-flops, shorts and a T-shirt when he was seen in Phetchabun, Thailand, on Tuesday (October 8) afternoon.

Passing driver Bumrung Sitaban was amazed when she saw the man and filmed him as he sped by her vehicle, reaching speeds of more than 40mph.

Bumrung, a hairdresser, said the rider was setting a very bad example for other motorcycle riders.

He said: "I do not know what he was thinking, he could have caused an accident by riding like that.

''If young people who like to ride motorcycles see him they could think it's OK and try to copy him. It's not a good thing to do.''
