For motoring enthusiasts in the greater Klang Valley area, the hills of Genting Highlands in the neighbouring state of Pahang is home to some of the most accessible public roads that offer an extended ribbon of twisty tarmac for those who want to revel in the joys of basic vehicle control inputs of applying throttle, brakes and steering.
Attracting the spectrum of enthusiasts as it does, the twisty roads leading to and from the hillside tourist attraction inevitably includes motorists who aren’t reserved about overstepping the grip limits of their machines, as demonstrated by this TikTok footage of a modified car coming downhill from Genting Highlands, in a fashion that would be formally described as a “sustained loss of traction”.
What might be the issue, one may ask, considering that the driver of this black modified car appeared to be in control throughout the vehicle’s drift through the right-hand turn; the driver even appeared to gather up the drift without too much corrective input, so ‘no harm, no foul’, right?
The thing is, this remains a public road, and regardless of the acreage on offer, corners on hillside routes with a larger hard shoulder tend to be where travellers will want to stop for pictures and take in the scenery.
When there are bystanders and stationary vehicles present, a vehicle driven particularly vigourously presents a much higher crash risk, and one that could well involve others who want nothing to do with a hard-charging vehicle that may or may not remain under control.
As it is in the video here, the black Toyota Hilux in the forergound appeared to pull over to the hard shoulder on the left, and rejoined the road after the drifting car had passed.
The law is clear on the matter – Section 43 in Act 333 of the Road Transport Act 1987 states that “A person who drives a motor vehicle on a road without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road shall be guilty of an offence,” and can be punished with a fine of not less than RM4,000 and not more than RM10,000, and be liable for imprisonment for a term of not more than 12 months.
Beyond the letter of the law, common sense should also be in order when enthusiasts are thinking about exercising their vehicles in public; whether we like it or not, anything that attracts attention to any group of motoring enthusiasts reflects in some way on the enthusiast community at large, be they modified vehicles, exuberant driving or riding, or how one carries themselves around said vehicles.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Acah2 x kenal keta tu. Pdhl nk buat content. Hehehe
Traction control malfunctioned. Thank goodness driver got skill avoided crash. Syukur-lah dia
most likely. lakonan.
You can see that same car on her others TikTok video.
Sigh… yet another cilaka video taken on potato phone camera once again cannot see that car number plate. Come onlah video taker, pls use SLR camera with high quality zoom that we can see the number clearly for abam polis to take action. Cari sampai lubang cacing tak lepas.
3gp format bro. The one that use to rakam at kelapa sawit.
Do a mental check,
Revoke driving liscence.
Want professional racing is at the Sepang Circuit,
Not Genting road.
Want drift show off, go circuit,
Now looks like mental problem already..
Reckless driving sampai orang lain need to avoid your driving style..
#Gila
#Mental
Sama²..
Confiscate the car. Then put driver behind bar. Fine heavily . Tunjuk warns JPJ
nice, wow
Several things need to check:
1. Car Check – for Puspakom.
2. JPJ Driving Liscence competency.
3. Mental check. #Gila
4. Health check. Alcohol/Drug influence?
5. Speed check – speeding penalty.
6. Reckless check – reckless penalty
Looks like a R34 GTR. Worthy drift I must commend, however please don’t do like this in public areas daytime some more people everywhere very hum sup almost.
It take god skills to overcome the AWD, the Attesa ETS, the LSD, and the massive tyres just to initiate a slide like that. The whole purpose of GTR is not to lose control.
It’s not a r34, I saw it that day cuz I work at at GPO, it’s a Frankenstein monster of a r32, strip out interior with a full on roll cage, doubt it’s a gtr cuz it just do a rear wheel burnout, might be a gtt. Got it’s photo with plate on my phone as well.
Pls share number plate with Polis for them to take action.
Hard to convict him also, the brake koyak and car gaining speed…at corner the tyre lost traction…but thanked got his skill still able to put the car on track. keke
Watched too much initial d cartoon.
Another secondary school boy reluctantly delivered tofu for his dad and rushing home to sleep before going to school. Don’t punish the poor kid.
Not only drifters, even other car testers as well with their videos clearly showing their exceeded speeds. JPJ and PDRM can make big bucks from such incriminating evidences.
Number plate of drifter WJD5144 #PDRM
RWD R33 tu… Very much heavily modified.
R32
impound the car and dismantle it
Bruh, the car was miles away from you, why were you even overreacting.
An AWD car in a controlled oversteer as SUCH SLOW SPEED with little to no traffic around is far from dangerous.
Some squeaking tires gets you jumping around like a clown, get off the road smh
another fake video…the lady probably knew the driver of the drift car…click bait
Mmg fake. Tu geng2 lapar fyp tuh. Content sampah.
Encountered a few before on my way up many years ago.
Personally I’m not too concerned about the drifting (it doesn’t feel like high speed drift like in initial D). What I’m most offended is that these drivers lacked patient and will overtake cars hogging the fast lane using emergency lane at crazy high speed. Imagine going uphill slowly enjoying the breeze and suddenly cars zoomed past you on the left when you are on the most inner lane.
Got it’s photo with me if police need it
I (anyone) can name few drivers here, that we can get from Youtube channels easily. They said they are just reviewing cars. But some of them have driven the car dangerously. No one want to make them viral? Potong kiri is one of their actions that can be dangerous. Lantakla some of them kaya, wartawan or rally driver!!
Nobody got a clear webcam video of this joker’s antics? I’m sure PDRM or JPJ would be delighted to book him!
pdrm wajib tangkap awek menggatal tu jgk sbb mmg subahat “timing” utk drifter tu
R32 Skyline is that you ?
Ni namanya BABI MENYONDOL.. Menyusahkan pengguna jalanraya yg lain bahkan membunuh nyawa yg tidak ternilai.. #PDRM tlg bg hukuman kpd org2 yg mcm ni.. Mmg cilaka ni org
Rampas the car. Jail the driver, tarik lesen 10 years. And auction or the car. Easy money sia
