MUAR: The two drivers involved in a heated confrontation while recording the incident at Km134 of the North-South Expressway (southbound) on Saturday will be arrested for driving recklessly.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Raiz Mukhlis Azman Aziz said both the 26-year-old Mazda Cx5 and 32-year-old Perodua Alza drivers lodged police reports.
They will be arrested to facilitate investigations under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving in a manner that poses a danger to other road users," he said.
The offence carries a penalty of a maximum five-year jail term or a fine of up to RM15,000 upon conviction.
The 46-second footage of the altercation, believed to have been recorded by the Mazda driver, shows the Alza driver banging on the driver's window in a threatening manner while shouting and gesturing vulgarly.
It is learnt that the altercation may have been triggered when the Mazda driver overtook the Alza driver and abruptly stopped in front of him on the highway.
Raiz Mukhlis is asking motorists to refrain from using their mobile phones while driving and to practise tolerance with other road users.
