A Proton X70 driver recently sparked online discussions after being caught using the emergency lane as their personal expressway. The incident, captured on a dashcam and currently circulating on X (formerly known as Twitter), highlights the disregard some drivers have for traffic rules.

The video shows the Proton X70 cruising comfortably down the emergency lane, ignoring the fact that this lane is meant strictly for emergencies. However, not everyone was willing to let this slide. A motorcyclist, witnessing the misuse, decided to take matters into their own hands.
As the Proton driver continued on their way, the motorcyclist pulled up alongside and signaled them to return to the proper lane. The quick response from the motorcyclist effectively ended the X70's impromptu "VIP lane" experience. The driver, seemingly recognizing their error, merged back into the regular flow of traffic.
This incident reportedly occurred around 4:20 p.m. on September 16, though the exact location remains unknown. It serves as a reminder of the importance of following road rules, particularly regarding the use of emergency lanes. They are reserved for emergencies, not for drivers looking to bypass traffic.
