It looks like the authorities’ demand to stop abusing the emergency lane is falling on deaf ears.
Photos showing four multi-purpose vehicles (MPV) using the emergency lane on the highway from Sungai Petani to Gurun have gone viral on Facebook.
Motorists caught in the crawl, reportedly due to a heavy downfall on Wednesday morning, posted the photos of the offenders on Facebook page Penang Kini, which quickly went viral.
On the posting, Netizens condemned the drivers of the MPVs and urged the authorities to take action.
The latest incident came a couple of days after a video showing four Klang Valley taxi drivers blocking an ambulance, which is on its way to the scene of an accident, by hogging the emergency lane went viral on the social media site.
Last week, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) announced that those who were caught abusing the emergency lane will be hauled straight to court.
