We’ve seen these kind of scams before, but here’s a reminder that it’s still a thing, it’s still happening. This video, originally posted up by one Jerry Lim and then shared on Facebook groups, shows a boy diving into the path of a moving car to possibly create a fake incident. In no time, other actors appear out of nowhere to assist the ‘victim’, probably doubling up as ‘witnesses’.
In the case of the foreigner attempting the scam last year, he at least ‘put his body on the line’ by launching himself into the car’s bonnet/windscreen. The main actor here sees a car coming and appears to ‘dive’ into the vehicle’s path and not the vehicle itself, almost like crawling on the road. Not sure if contact was even made.
But the problem for us drivers is that there need not be actual injury or even contact for fingers to be pointed at you for ‘running into a kid’. Never mind that the kids could be doing illegal things and extortion, you’re the car driver and you’re automatically in the wrong in the eyes of the many.
Dah tak hidup lagi ke budak ni.

While this is most likely a scam, in some actual accidents, the driver might even get physically harmed by a mob, never mind if he was in the wrong or not. If memory serves right, a lorry driver involved in a recent fatal accident with a motorcycle was beaten up pretty badly by onlookers. Imagine if someone shouts “dia langgar budak” and mob rule kicks in?
These kids should be taken off the roads, and if it established that it’s a deliberate scam, some form of punishment must be meted out as a deterrent, perhaps to their parents, before actual injury or death happens if the act goes wrong. Here’s hoping that the police will act accordingly.
What can we as drivers do? Unfortunately, nothing much when people decide to dive into your path 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, as is the case here. So, if you don’t already have one, get a dashcam installed to protect yourself, and always be alert.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This is B40. What do you expect?
somebody some organized group is teaching these bad behaviour to less intelligent species
such low life mentaliti.. wondering who is that mentor tokguru
Do you know what you can expect from the B40 group?
When you get yourself into a real shit accident, the first to come to your rescue is the B40 group. They will be the one to call the ambulance.
When you lost your wallet and mobile and hungry, they will be the one to offer your water and food even they themselves dont have sufficient.
When you are shit dirt and lousy, the first stranger that smile and greet you, is the B40.
yes, and also probably the reason you lost your wallet and phone in an accident
B40 is not mentality group
B40 is people who are financially under poverty line
so all poor people are bad heh?
blanket statement saying all b40 is stupid, that’s also means probably pointing at you
The fact that people can just simply shit on the term “B40” whenever something bad like that happen just beyond me smh
like how dense can you be
giving the kid the benefit of the doubt, he probably farted too hard that he fell into the path of the oncoming car.
Heavy punishment to avoid these type of rubbish cari makan like this!
It’s all about the peoples’ rationalism. Any driver should call police immediately. Driving recorder is a must nowadays.
Jay Walking

Including the KL City zone.
Feels like 3rd world city.
All of these apprentices have a teacher aka mentor “winks”

Thanks to the dashcam, PDRM can summons all those witnesses who didn’t wear helmet and possesed a valid driving license. Scammers got scammed back.
Think where this all 1st started first. After basikal lajak overturned judgement, nowadays every crooked minded ppl taking advantage of motorists. When law get abused by lawmakers itself, this will continue. So sad how this country become.
Next thing u know, dashcam pun dia org curi.
For a country to be scam-free there should be mandatory death penalty for all types of scammers.
Unfortunately Malaysia joined the woke crowd by abolishing the death penalty.
Make it a law every new car must have dashcam installed
Buy used car also can put.
that kid could have been killed! The car wasn’t moving that slow. kudos to the driver for being alert!
Honest review about this incident can cause rational disharmony,cheap people cheat thinking and acts,surprise me that still people have time to act dangerously and put others life is in danger,
Scam import dari Cina
1st they get a lady blamed for their own stupid basikal lajak behavior, then scream for the 4th EPF withdrawals, now this??? all goes back to birth control if no wisdom & financial power to handle too many kids.
In 90s SPM Moral paper, there was a question on what would you do when a kid was knocked down by your car in a kampung, then the villagers come running amok to you with cangkul and parang.
How would you respond?
