KUALA LUMPUR: Netizens were furious yet satisfied to see an individual scolding an express bus driver for dangerously overtaking on a double line on a small two-lane road.
The video, believed to be from a dashcam, was uploaded on the #UpdateInfo X account and has seen received over 627,000 views.
"Sound him off face-to-face, satisfying," the account wrote.
Based on the GPS location of the video, the incident is believed to have happened on the East-West Highway in Gerik, Perak.
In the 40-second video, the man had to come to a screeching halt as the express bus had gone into his lane on the opposite side of the road.
He can be heard telling the bus driver to be patient when driving, especially since he was carrying many lives on the bus.
The express bus driver had overtaken a lorry at the time, and the driver of the heavy vehicle seemingly thanked the man with a honk of his horn.
In the comment section, netizens were quick to express their anger at the incident.
"At a curve, double line some more. This driver is truly trying to kill his passengers," wrote user alipgary.

Others expressed fear of being on an express bus as they are allegedly known for speeding.
"This is why I think twice about taking a bus to the east; most bus drivers drive too fast and don't care how the passengers in the back feel," user ZihaMohamed wrote.
Perak police chief Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri, when contacted, said they have yet to receive any report of the incident.
