Traffic congestion is a given in city centres, and yet another instance of conflict between a car and a motorcycle has surfaced on X/Twitter and Reddit, where dashcam footage shows slow-moving traffic on what appears to be Jalan Yew in Kuala Lumpur, heading towards the Sungai Besi Expressway.
Here, a red Proton Saga is seen waiting for a gap in traffic to change from the right lane to the left lane, and eventually manages to do so, its driver having indicated their intention beforehand to change lanes.
Going by the time stamp from the dashcam footage, the Saga has had its indicator on for around nine seconds before a kapchai (underbone motorcycle) and a larger sportbike arrives in view of the dashcam. With the Saga positioned in between lanes, the kapchai brakes – as does the sportbike behind it – then the Saga completes its manoeuvre into the left lane.
The kapchai rider appears to shake their head in disapproval, while the sportbike rider behind goes one further, and swings at the Saga’s driver-side mirror, and a piece can be seen to have come off the car.
In instances such as this one, it pays to read traffic conditions, and minimise the speed differential when lane splitting. Sufficient anticipation of other road users ahead would mitigate sudden braking, and everyone can be on their own ways safely. Certainly, don’t go damaging property of others.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally criticize motorcyclists for reckless and aggressive behavior, such as lane splitting illegally, honking, and damaging car mirrors. Many perceive bikers as lawless and irresponsible, often blaming them for road incidents and expressing frustration over their lack of accountability. Some comments highlight that the Proton Saga driver acted correctly by signaling and changing lanes safely. There is a call for law enforcement to enforce traffic rules more strictly, including conducting "Ops Samseng Jalanan." Many commenters also express disdain for biker culture, stereotypes about income levels, and political undertones, but the main theme remains the condemnation of motorcyclists’ dangerous road conduct and the need for stricter control and better discipline on Malaysian roads. Overall, the sentiment is mostly negative toward bikers, demanding action from authorities.
