AGGRESSIVE driving is not just about ignoring the speed limit. It also involves drivers who engage in risky behaviour that endangers other road users, such as making sudden stops along the stretch for no apparent reason.
Recently, it was claimed that a car was driven in a dangerous manner in Johor. Did such an incident happen?
Verdict:
TRUE
Johor Baru North OCPD Asst Comm Balveer Singh said police received a report about the incident at 1.28pm on Monday (Oct 14).
He said a 34-year-old man was arrested following the road bullying incident on Jalan Kempas Lama towards Jalan Tropika Utama in Johor Baru at 4.42pm on Monday.
“The incident occurred on Sunday (Oct 13) after the man drove out of an intersection without stopping. He then proceeded to drive his vehicle in a dangerous manner,” he said in a statement.
The case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for driving recklessly and dangerously.
A one-minute and 20-sec video was posted on Komuniti Johor Facebook page showing a blue car coming out of an intersection without stopping.
The driver then continued to block the road and make sudden stops in front of the victim’s car.
