It is quite common for motorcyclists to wear jackets or windbreakers backwards when riding as a way to protect their chest from getting hit by rain droplets
Or to keep dirt and dust away from their ironed shirts.
A recent incident, however, has shown that it can be extremely dangerous if the jacket is loose and gets caught in the tyres
Facebook user Fatin Khalidah shared in a post that she witnessed first-hand a woman crashing after her jacket got stuck in a motorcycle tyre on Monday, 30 September.
