Double-line overtaking Honda City in Pahang arrested

Did you come across a video of a red Honda City overtaking on a double line on a single lane trunk road, forcing the camcar to dive to the road shoulder? Fortunately, the road had a relatively wide grassy shoulder to accommodate the camcar, and no vehicle or human was harmed.

The incident happened on Monday, August 29, and was shared by the Muadzam Maju Facebook page. According to a statement released by Rompin district police chief Mohd Azahari Mukhtar, it happened at KM124 Jalan Kuantan – Segamat. The Honda City’s JVC 9323 number plate search brought up a man with an address in Bukit Beruang, Melaka.

Perhaps he realised that the video had gone viral and the cops are on the case, the Honda’s driver showed up at IPD Rompin on August 30 and was arrested and investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act for dangerous driving.

Check out the video below – it was a close shave for the camcar. Fortunately, the driver was alert and reacted in time. If he or she was distracted, whether with the kids or the phone, or simply not at “full battery” due to fatigue, it would have been a head on collision at speed. While we can’t control what others do, we can be alert and react to our best ability should the unexpected happen. Drive safe and get a dashcam.

    Reckless driving Honda driver for the Double line overtaking.
    No backup plan, yet force ppl away from road?

    Observing the video, the Honda should be able to go back to its lane.

    A basic saman can be too easy for these rich reckless people.
    Should consider submit Mental Health Report OR retake driving liscence on top of basic Saman overtaking double line.

    the hubris of the morons who think they can get away with their hanky panky antics on the road where most cars today have dashcam and are not afraid to expose them on social media is definitely astounding

  • It’s good that such videos are being viralised and the traffic offender being arrested. I hope to see as many traffic offenders are exposed and law takes it course. Traffic regulations must be followed to make driving safer in the country, and reduce both accidents and death numbers.

    Someone get that camera model and share it out. At least unlike other dash videos this time footage is clearly see the license plate so this is not a potato camera dashcam.

    the basic compound of RM300 is nothing for someone driving a Honda (especially the new models la) , please increase to RM2000 for all imported cars (particularly the new models age within 5 years) and also locked them up for 2 days

      Dangerous “breed” on the road! Please! Revoke driving licence. Alhamdulillah, serious accident or even death could have resulted! Trauma for the driver & family members since a near miss.

    This City model highlighted the torque power on the marketing strategy, which is different from horse power. The idiot might have misinterpreted the “power” of his dream then, plus the stupidity of going beyond basic law and trying to kill others.

    Thank God nobody was injured. However, lives could have been lost. An example must be set to deter future mishaps. If the punishment is to light it will not deter the inevitable from happening in the future.
