Things you don’t expect when driving: a group on cyclists racing downhill on a major road and this, a man sprinting towards you and launching himself on to your car’s bonnet. We all know the outcome of the former, and the latter situation could have been bad for the car driver as well, albeit on a much lesser scale.
This recent incident happened in Klang, after the third bridge heading to Kapar apparently. As you can clearly see from the dashcam footage, once the car turned the corner, a man from the opposite site of the road charged towards the car and then launched himself into the oncoming car, back first.
Upon impact with the car’s bonnet and windscreen, which has cracked, the man slides to the ground. Seconds after, a couple of people appear on the scene, including two women trying to assist the “victim”.
Now, to a passer-by, and even the police, this might look like a car mowing down a pedestrian, who is now injured and possibly mentally scarred. The car driver is clearly in trouble, especially when there are “witnesses” to support the version of events of the “victim”. It’s a scam, a form of extortion.
But there’s a twist. The driver told them to wait for the police as he had dashcam footage. Upon hearing this, the group, including the “victim”, quickly dispersed. According to the grapevine, police said that they know of the modus operandi of these scammers as other reports have been made by the true victims of these incidents – the motorists with damaged cars.
What can we learn from this? Unfortunately, there’s nothing much you can do when a man decides to throw himself on your car and use a mini mob to make you look guilty. But if you have a dashcam, the scam won’t work as their deeds are clear. So, if you don’t already have one, get a dashcam installed to protect yourself. You’ll never know when you need it.

Sapa mau ganti itu cermin? Hope the police dapat tangkap mereka.
This phenomena is common in China so much for this reason why China dashcam tech is so advanced
You advice people buy dash cam and child seats..they say,”bang, ketat bulan ini”
But when the latest I Phone,or Hwa Wei 5G phone go on sale,queue up overnight long queue ,withdraw Rm 10,000 KWSP..eh mesti rajin,changgih phone on the way.
I wonder how will one install dashcam & child seat on a kapcai. Cuba beri pencerahan sikit.
honey… this phenomenon will not happen to you if you ride a kapcai. get a life.
don’t be lazy go search shopee lazada -motorcycle helmet dashcam.
follow the norm, squeeze in your children between you and motorcycle handle bar
People talking about dashcam u go point for helmet cam for what. Totally not the same.
Org citer psl kereta, ko citer psl kapcai.. Deeeiii.. Chaaa.. Lu isap apa deeeiii? Share skit..
Yup. If you go Lazada/Shopee and search for 70mai cam, they will have video on a simulated event where an actor seemed to collide with the car’s front all which captured by the dashcam.
70mai yang ganti
It’s getting more and more difficult to live a peaceful life nowadays. Scamming opportunists are everywhere!
Let us ‘punish’ them accordingly. Sudah 1/2 lunyai can give to authority.
probably they will throw themselves on cars that they think it is old and might not have dashcam..
Even if you dont have dashcam, just say you have one and at least scare them a bit..
if no dash cam then may need to go jail 6 years due to driver negligent.
6 years is light. Reckless driving carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years with a fine up to RM 20k.

Incidentally, then minister Anthony Loke proposed a lifelong ban for those who caused deaths, perhaps something for the current TM to ponder in light of recent incidents.
Anthony Loke should have legislated that idea, then that woman can permabanned from being a danger on the road.
Got dashcam also need to go to jail 6 years… coz it is a car…. though not the driver’s fault…
this is Malaysia lembu logic…. no such thing in Australia

Going by Malaysian logic these days, that poor Bezza was totally innocent and the fault should lie with that devious motorcyclist who had the gall of being collected by that car.
Please install a dashcam but invest on a better model if possible. I am currently using a 70mai too.
I have idiots reversing into my car twice. If no dashcam, you will be the loser.
Shouldn’t have told them got dashcam, wait for police come, go back balai then wait to see the look of the “scammer’s” face when you show them the dashcam footage. Might not be able to pay you back for the damages but the satisfaction of watching his ass go jail will be better than nothing.
it’s a pity the man ran off. the man would have been able to get compensation since it’s the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully based on the recent high court ruling.
PDRM had detained the Myanmar guy who jumped on the car. But I got a feeling the brains behind this con is a local person, Myanmar will do anything for RM.
Do you know things have been so bad in Myanmar now..you send money back to Rangon,your relative there can only withdraw a fifth of what u remitted.
The military bugger impose monetary controls to enrich himself and his junta.
We should go after the brains behind this scam.It is like catching the dadah pusher only,the kingpin is galavanting like Joe “yanchar”Lho.
Going by recent Malaysian logic, the military buggers are not at fault, it should be the poor people who must pay.
Those who thinks that the gal should be go jail is plain stupid.
Just because 6 kids died does not mean a person should go to jail.
If 6 or more person suddenly jump straight in the direction of your car while speeding at 60km when the road is dark. Should you go to jail because they want to commit suicide?
Wat you think?
by abubaka’s law, yes you should.
You do the crime, you pay the time. East, West, North, South all the same.
