We have all seen motorcyclists jump the red light even when it is not their turn to move yet. Some of us even had to stomp on the brakes to avoid hitting these motorcyclists who jump the red light! This motorcyclist who decided to jump the gun and it was all caught on camera.
In a video uploaded on Facebook, a dashcam footage showed a motorcyclist jumping the red light at the last minute near Tesco Bukit Mertajam. What he didn’t anticipate was the light turning green for the traffic on the opposite side.
The biker proceeded to mow down two other motorcyclists. One of the victims was seen painfully rolling over a few times while the other remained pinned beneath his motorcycle in the middle of the junction in the aftermath. The biker himself remained standing and unharmed.
We have been told over and over not to rush off the moment the lights turn green, in case the cars from the direction that just turned red jumped the gun. But it looks like we will have to keep an eye out for motorcyclists from other directions as well.
It is high time the Road and Transport Department (JPJ) haul these motorcyclists who decide to jump the red lights in for punishment. We need JPJ to make an example of these riders as this is becoming an increasingly common occurrence across the country!
There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
