With the 2024 Lunar New Year balik kampung exodus in full swing, the Smart Lane system is in effect on certain stretches of Malaysia’s toll highways. Done to alleviate traffic congestion on the highway especially during the pre- and post holiday travel period, the Smart Lane implementation during specific times and dates seems to have escaped one motorcyclist.
In a video shared by user anthraxxx781 on social media, a biker is seen stopping his motorcycle on the emergency lane, blocking the path of a car. This is not a one-time occurrence as it has happened in the past.
The rider then gets off his bike and confronts the driver, presumably to tell the driver off for using the emergency lane which is not allowed during normal days.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mostly focus on the controversy surrounding the misuse of the "Smart Lane" during congestion, with many criticizing bikers for using emergency lanes illegally, which they argue endangers safety and shows a lack of respect for the law. Several express frustration with the inconsistency of rules, believing the lanes are misused or poorly implemented, especially during festivals or peak times. There are also accusations that some bikers act arrogantly and disregard traffic laws, and debates about whether motorcyclists should have special privileges. Some comments mention Germany as a contrast, questioning whether similar systems exist there, while others criticize government officials for ineffective regulation. Overall, opinions are largely negative towards bikers' use of the smart lane and skeptical about the system's fairness and safety.
