The occurrence has received the attention of the police, who are investigating and tracking down the drivers of the vehicles involved making said U-turns and going against the flow of traffic,
For the time being, the police have yet to determine the registration number of the vehicle from which the video was recorded, however several vehicles have been identified following checks on the MySikap JPJ mobile application, said Raub district police chief superintendent Mohd Shahril Abdul Rahman.
Other vehicles which were also involved in the mass U-turn on the highway, including the vehicle from which the video was recorded, are being tracked down for further investigation, the Raub district police chief said. The 17 km section of the highway is said to be expected to save users 40 minutes of travel time, as they would no longer be required to pass through Raub on their journey towards the east coast of the peninsula. This occurrence of the mass u-turn appears to be due to the build up of traffic on the highway as motorists travel out of city centres for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri festive season.
Needless to say, the act of making a u-turn on the highway is not only against the law, but also dangerous as this also involves travelling against the flow of traffic until the exit, which will also be done against traffic as it is an on-ramp.Open roads and closed circuits hold great allure for Mick Chan. Driving heaven to him is exercising a playful chassis on twisty paths; prizes ergonomics and involvement over gadgetry.
