S’pore-registered car drives against flow of traffic in Johor Checkpoint, officer hits it with traffic cone

Viral video surfaces of Singapore-registered car driving recklessly in Johor Checkpoint, vehicle gets smacked by traffic cone

On 7 Feb, footage from January surfaced on Facebook showing a Singapore-registered car recklessly driving against the flow of traffic in Johor Checkpoint.

The car accelerated and decelerated repeatedly, causing one of the officers to smack it with a traffic cone.

According to SG Road Vigilante (SGRV), the incident occurred back on 10 Jan this year, at 1.33am. The viral video, posted on 7 Feb, gained over 3,100 likes at press time.

Dashcam footage showed the camcar travelling down a narrow lane at the Sultan Iskandar Building when another car suddenly drove in from the other direction, against the flow of traffic.

Both cars braked and avoided a collision initially.

The footage cut to about 25 seconds later, with two traffic police officers beside the offending car, a Volkswagen Polo with a Singapore licence plate number.

The Volkswagen inched forward and bumped against the camcar, causing one of the officers to slap on the side window.

Immediately, the driver slammed the car into a rapid reverse, nearly pulling the officer off-balance. The car then drove forward, trying to squeeze past the camcar.

As the Volkswagen continued moving back and forth, one officer could be seen drawing his pistol from his holster, though he did not point it at the car.

Johor Checkpoint officer picks up cone and hits car

The offending car began forcefully driving forward while the camcar reversed to avoid it.

Finally, the second Johor Checkpoint officer picked up a traffic cone and threatened to swing it against the car.

He ordered the driver to reverse, pointing behind their vehicle while keeping the cone aloft.

When the driver did not obey, the traffic police officer whacked the car’s bonnet with the traffic cone.

The Volkswagen subsequently accelerated and managed to squeeze past the camcar, vanishing from view of the dashcam.

Notably, the Singapore-registered license plate did not produce any valid results on the OneMotoring website.

According to Malaysia’s The New Straits Times, police have yet to issue a statement regarding the incident.
