Footage from a dashcam caught a Perodua Myvi driving dangerously against the flow of traffic in the middle lane of the Federal Highway near Icon City, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
The incident reportedly happened on Sunday, 8 May, at 1.52am.
The clip, which has since been shared on multiple platforms, shows a vehicle in the middle lane some distance ahead using the left indicator before it changes to the left lane.
A moment later, a pair of headlights can then be seen travelling down the middle lane against the flow of traffic, forcing the owner of the dashcam footage to quickly change into the right lane.
Here’s the moment the driver had to swerve out of the way to avoid a collision with the Myvi:
In a statement on Sunday, Petaling Jaya district deputy police chief Supt Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said the Investigation and Traffic Enforcement Division has lodged a police report after the video of the incident went viral.
He added that the initial investigation found that the incident did not involve any accidents or injuries to other road users.
A probe is being conducted in accordance with Section 42 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. Ku Mashariman also reminded all road users to always comply with traffic laws to avoid unwanted incidents.
Meanwhile, police are also asking any witnesses to contact traffic officer Rozilah Hussin at +6016-2679025 to assist in the investigation.
