SEPANG:
Fearing that he would be caught for driving with an expired driving licence, a 21-year-old youth panicked and sped through a police roadblock at the Damansara-Puchong Expressway, almost ramming the policemen on duty.

The incident at 11.30am last Saturday was caught on video by another road user and the 30-second clip quickly went viral on social media.

Sepang police chief Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said another man, aged 31, had come to the Sepang police station at 6.30pm to facilitate the investigation into the case, claiming to be the owner of the black Toyota Lexus featured in the viral video.

“During the incident, the car was driven by his younger brother.

“It was clarified that the youth did not stop at the roadblock because he was afraid of being detained and scolded by his brother for driving with an expired driving licence. His driving licence expired on Jan 9,” he said in a statement here today.

Wan Kamarul said the youth, however, surrendered himself at 8pm the same day.

Although his urine drug test produced a negative result, the youth was slapped with a summons for driving using an expired driving licence.
