Auntie Kantoi: Police Investigate Viral Video of Car on Penang Bridge Motorcycle Lane

Nibong Tebal – Remember that viral video of a car cruising down the motorcycle lane on the Second Penang Bridge? Turns out, the police are on it! An elderly woman is being questioned after the video sparked outrage and amusement online.

The incident, which occurred around 1.30pm yesterday at Km 8.6 of the Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge (that's the Second Penang Bridge, folks!), involved a 70-year-old driver. Imagine the shock of the mat rempits when they saw this!

According to Seberang Perai Selatan district police chief, Superintendent Jay January Siowou, the auntie was brought in for questioning. The case is being investigated as using a prohibited lane.

"Police urge the public to always obey road laws and not take traffic regulations lightly, especially on high-risk routes such as bridges and designated motorcycle lanes. Strict action will be taken against any person found committing traffic offences that may endanger other road users, as road safety is a shared responsibility."

So, what happened? The video, a mere six seconds long, quickly spread like wildfire. Netizens had a field day, with some expressing concern while others offered more sympathetic explanations, suggesting the driver might have taken a wrong turn out of unfamiliarity. We've all been there, kan?

What happens next?

The police are urging anyone with more information to contact the Seberang Perai Selatan police headquarters at 04-5858222. Let's hope this serves as a reminder to double-check those lanes, especially on major routes like the Penang Bridge. We don’t want any *kereta* surprises on *motor* lanes!

Moral of the story? Pay attention to the road signs, guys. And maybe get a Waze refresher before heading onto the bridge. Stay safe on the roads!
