AN SUV driver allegedly attempted to follow a VIP convoy believed to have been travelling along the KESAS Highway.
According to a viral dashcam video shared on Threads, the incident reportedly took place earlier this morning.
The footage showed a VIP convoy travelling through traffic, with other vehicles moving aside to make way for it.
However, the SUV was allegedly seen attempting to follow the convoy, prompting a police escort travelling alongside the vehicle to slap its side mirror.
Moments later, the dashcam footage showed the same SUV travelling behind the police escort.
Under Section 21 of the Police Act 1967 (Act 344), police officers are responsible for escort duties.
The provision also states that anyone who obstructs, opposes or disobeys any reasonable direction given by a police officer while the officer is performing duties under the section commits an offence.
Upon conviction, offenders may face a fine of up to RM10,000, imprisonment for up to two years, or both.
