Man, 73, nabbed for driving against traffic


SEREMBAN: Police have detained a 73-year-old man for allegedly driving against traffic flow along Jalan Rasah.

Seremban police chief Asst Comm Arifai Tarawe said a probe was carried out after a 16-second clip showing the incident went viral online.

"Investigations showed that the incident occurred around 10am on Friday (Oct 27).

"The car was driven on the fast lane towards Seremban 3, and it was a reckless act that endangered the lives of other road users," he said in a statement.

ACP Arifai said a police team probing the incident managed to track the car owner at Taman Desa Rasah, and he was taken to the district police station for questioning.

The case, he said, was being probed under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

He urged eyewitnesses to contact investigating officer Insp Sudesh Kumar at 016-4830 853 or the district station at 06-603 3222 to assist in investigations.
