Admit it, how many of us here are guilty of going against the traffic light when there is no oncoming traffic?
Yesterday (14 December), PDRM shared on their Facebook account an incident where a couple on a motorcycle went through the red light in Kuala Lumpur city.
The caption reads,
“Only proceed when the light turns green.”
The video was captured on a dashcam attached to another motorcycle. The couple was unaware that there was a policeman on the bike behind them. Before the traffic light could turn green, they decided to go.
And you may have already guessed what happened next. The police immediately pursued the couple on the motorcycle.
Fortunately, it did not turn out to be a long chase as the police managed to stop the couple by the road not far from the traffic light.
You can watch the full video below.
