Honda Civic accident racing up Genting Highlands – PDRM reveals that driver has 11 traffic summonses

Earlier this week, a video of an FD Honda Civic crashing into a hill slope while attempting to negotiate a corner going up Genting Highlands went viral.

The single-vehicle incident, which took place last Sunday at Km 14.6 on the route, showed the perils of attempting to race up the hill and applying incorrect input at the wrong time – not anticipating the radius of the corner in relation to speed/position and braking midway into the turn set the tone for the script to play out as it did.

Now, PDRM has revealed further details about the 7.25 am incident, in which the 27-year-old driver of the vehicle escaped unhurt. While carrying out investigations following the crash, it was revealed that the driver of the car has 11 traffic summonses in his name.

Bentong police chief Superintendent Zaiham Mohd Kahar said the driver was called in for questioning and a check revealed the record of summonses. He said the case was being investigated under Section 42 in Act 333 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving.

As the incident showed, a mishap is only a moment away, perfectly encapsulated by the adage, malang tidak berbau. Drive safely and observe all laws on the road, and leave the racing for the racetrack.

    11 summons still can renew roadtax insurance ? Maybe government need to do something about it, summons = no renewal allowed

    What’s the point of issuing summons if no action taken when summons not being paid? Just legalise on the spot collection of summon. Incentivise the police, everytime kena stop by police then mr.policeman get 30% of the summon collected on the spot. Dunnit selit duit under lesen to pay. Better than all this summons issued but no money collected.

    11 summons but what summons? 11 parking summons or what? This is not important now.

    Most important is seriously take this case and give him and those with him together a just punishment.

      Brader, its really important like your credit history. If he had no prior then he can appeal by saying this is an isolated incident.
      With 11, there is a history of tendency. More severe punnishment can be impose.

    should have his license suspended for life for both driving and riding motorcycle. so he has to cycle, walk and take public transport. this nuisance should be kept off the road.

  • Unpaid summonses + video-proven reckless driving and yet still allowed on the road..? should consider revoking driving license + eventually vehicle confiscation due to (likely) illegal vehicle modifications..
