In Brazil’s southern Parana State a number of motorists were alarmed to see a couple riding along on a motorcycle, while locked in a passionate embrace. The rider was paying minimal attention to the road in front of him while his girlfriend sat on his knee. Instead, the two were filmed focused firmly on each other for around 60 seconds, while travelling at 80km/h in the outside lane of the highway and overtaking a series of other vehicles. The youngsters were not using protection. The rider’s helmet was slung over his arm while his girlfriend had no helmet at all.

After a period left hanging, the vehicle was l
