Let’s be quite honest here – in Malaysia, motorists run the red light all the time. It’s completely irresponsible, and yet people just keep on doing it, blind to the dangers of what could be coming on the other side. And this video shows just how wrong it could all go when the traffic signals go unheeded.
At the intersection, we can see several motorcyclists from the left running the red light to turn right, stopping only to let passing cars through before crossing. Eventually, the traffic clears up, and three bikers take turns to cross the road – but just as the last one is about to make it through, he gets hit by a speeding Perodua Alza coming from the right, to the horror of the people in the car recording the incident.
The tragic thing is that the motorcyclist crosses the red light just a few seconds before the light on his side turned green – had he been patient enough to wait just a little while more, this accident would have been avoided completely. Although the traffic light for the other side is just out of shot here, the driver in the Alza also appears to be speeding to try and beat the red light.
The moral of the story here is simple – be patient when on the road. You share the road with everyone else, who are all trying to get to where they are going as quickly as possible. Breaking traffic laws because you believe your time is more important is not only incredibly dangerous, it’s also ridiculously inconsiderate, and this rings true whether you run the red light or use the emergency lane to beat the traffic.
After all, no appointment or deadline is worth risking your life over – or indeed, anyone else’s.

Meanwhile in the emergency dept;
Motorcyclist: Doktor, kereta tu langgar lampu merah dan hentam saya!!!
Plenty of motorcyclist love to do this, it’s why i have dashcams in my car. Before accidents they own the road, after accident become innocent homeless victims.
I agree. 2 things driving schools should teach for future car drivers.
1. Dashcam is compulsory
2. Motorcyclists are the ‘untouchables’. If you touch them, you are guilty. If they touch you, you are also guilty.
Anyway, no pity for him whatsoever.
Question:
Are motorcyclists exempted from all traffic rules?
1. One motorbike stopping on the zebra crossing. Do motorcyclists still know what a zebra crossing is?
2. A few motorbikes stopping in the middle of the junction with that big yellow cross.
3. And, finally the served-him-right motorcyclist tops it all :)
People will only learn their lesson when it’s too late because they will always think, “I’ve done it so many times before without having an accident and the chances of me being crashed into is unlikely.” After they lose their limbs or lives only want to regret and preach others not to do what they’ve done.
Some Malaysian driver and rider are really idiot and dumb. One of the example is in the video itself.
I heard the phrase “before gst”
You stupid motorcyclist that beat red lights! You sir deserve to die many cycles of life and deserve to die by yourself alone forever! Deserving ending for selfish prick assholes
