If found guilty, the drivers could face imprisonment for up to 5 years and a fine ranging from RM5,000 to RM15,000.
This incident has sparked reactions from many netizens who commented, "The law is created to protect the rich. The wealthy can bend the law without breaking it, while the poor cannot bend the law and have to admit guilt even if they are innocent."
"I think I know the owner of the orange Lambo with the UR10 plate. Probably part of the Supercar Gang MY."
"It's not just the B40 who exhibit reckless behaviour. Even the T20 can be like this. This is an example of four-legged road hogs. They drive their expensive cars like kings on the road. If they get into an accident, I won't feel sorry for them."
