Motorbike riders have been slammed for ‘dangerous driving’ on the notorious A-7 road that runs along the Costa del Sol.

Footage shared online from two separate incidents this week have left fellow road users shocked.

One clip shows a woman riding on the back of a motorbike without a helmet while appearing to be asleep or intoxicated.

The vehicle is seen swerving between lanes before taking an exit for Torremolinos at the very last possible second, causing the people filming the video to audibly gasp.

In another video, a woman can be seen standing up in the back of a motorbike as it weaves through traffic late at night on the A-7 near Marbella.

Meanwhile, the driver is seen with his arm holding onto one of her legs, meaning he is driving with just one hand.

The videos emerged this week just days before a 17-year-old boy was killed in what is believed to have been a motorbike crash.

The tragic incident occurred Monday night on Avenida Juan Carlos I, in the area of the Los Monteros urbanisation.

Authorities have not revealed the teen’s name or nationality.

According to the 112 emergency hotline, a witness called in at around 11.40pm to report that an injured young man was laying on the road next to a motorcycle.

The coordination centre activated the Marbella Local Police, the Guardia Civil and the Health Emergency Centre (CES).

Paramedics were dispatched but were unable to save the victim’s life and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
