A motorcyclist has filmed young men dangerously hanging out of a P-plate car on a Queensland highway.

Two young men have been filmed dangerously hanging out a car with P-plates on a Queensland highway.

Wild footage has captured two young men dangerously hanging out a car with P-plates on a Queensland highway.

At one point in the video, the front passenger had his whole left leg and upper body out the window.

That same passenger then reached for a high-five from the motorbike driver whose body camera filmed the frightening scene.

It appeared the car was travelling on Mount Lindesay Highway in Logan.

The video was posted to Reddit on Wednesday with the caption, “Average day in Australia”.

Queensland Police told news.com.au the incident had not been reported, but police were already investigating the car for involvement in the alleged theft of $15 worth of unleaded fuel from a nearby service station on June 27.

Reddit users were appalled by what they had watched.

“I know someone who died doing the exact same thing … it’s not cool or funny, it’s bloody dangerous,” wrote one person.

“Idiots, no amount of horrific car crash ads will ever get through to them,” said another.

“I hope these kids get identified and charged, if only so they learn from this and don’t get themselves and others killed,” wrote a third.

Many criticised the motorcyclist for giving them a high-five and accused the rider of encouraging the behaviour.

“I would not have trusted him enough to go for the handshake. If he’d have held on you’d have been f***ed,” said one person.

“Yep as a rider I was thinking the same thing. No f***ing way I trust a moron like that to not grab on or pull. Surviving on a motorbike is all about risk management,” agreed another.

The motorcyclist said he did not know the men in the car and “in hindsight, I was an idiot to had gone for that high-five”.

Under Queensland’s road rules, a driver or passenger “must not travel in or on a motor vehicle with any part of your body outside a window or door of the vehicle”.

“The only time part of your body may protrude outside the vehicle is when you are driving and using a hand signal to show you are about to stop, slow down or about to turn, move right or make a U-turn,” the Queensland Government’s website reads.
