Some netizens voiced their disappointment that the driver did not face heavier charges for his shenanigans
Many Twitter users said that the Honda driver should have been charged five to 10 times the amount he avoided paying at tolls or else he wouldn’t learn from his actions.

Many people were questioning how this driver managed to dodge paying toll fees so many times without getting caught
Evading toll charges is a growing practice, picked up by those who want to save a few ringgit while on the road.
To avoid paying the fees, toll-dodgers would typically tailgate the car in front of them and drive as fast as possible past the boom gate that is lifted for the car who paid.
Or, if a car is small or short enough, the driver can slip past the gate without having to tailgate.
