A driver was caught on camera reversing on a highway in order to make an exit, and it almost turned into a three-car collision.
Earlier this week, a Proton Saga Aeroback nearly caused an accident when attempting to reverse back a two-lane expressway towards an exit ramp.
The car was stopped in the middle of the highway, attempting to make the exit, and at that point, a Honda HR-V on the same lane caught up with the vehicle, but fortunately managed to brake to a complete stop.
A Proton X50 following behind would have rear ended the Honda but quickly managed to swing his vehicle out to the fast lane.
Dashcams caught the whole scene and it was also taken to TikTok.
Thankfully the whole thing didn't end up with a three-car collision. The Saga driver however, didn't seem repentant, and used hand signals to indicate his need to reverse towards the exit ramp.
Under Section 42 (1) of the Road Transport Act (Amendment) 2020, action such as above constitutes reckless and dangerous driving, and those convicted can be punished by a fine and imprisonment as well as be disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving license for a long period of time.
So next time you miss an exit, deal with it and don't put the lives of others in danger.
