JOHOR BAHRU: Johor police are investigating those who were involved in a convoy of Singapore-registered sports cars for dangerous driving while overtaking on a highway near Kota Tinggi.
In a statement issued on Tuesday (Jul 19), chief of the Johor police Kota Tinggi Division, Superintendent Hussin Zamora said: “On Jul 17, at around 8.55pm, the Investigation and Traffic Enforcement Department at Kota Tinggi Division identified a video clip on Facebook of a convoy of seven vehicles driving and overtaking dangerously, in a manner that can cause accident.”
He added that the incident occurred at the 42km-mark along Jalan Sungai Rengit-Kota Tinggi in the direction of Kota Tinggi town.
The statement listed the licence plate numbers of seven Singapore-registered vehicles.
Videos circulated by the police showed the cars overtaking a vehicle amid oncoming traffic. The footage appeared to be a mobile phone recording taken by a driver who was not part of the convoy.
In one video, a white car was seen overtaking the driver and narrowly avoiding two oncoming cars. Later on, a black sports car also overtook the driver, nearly causing an oncoming car to veer towards the side of the highway.
The superintendent said that the police are trying to identify all seven drivers in the convoy.
He also urged the owners of the seven vehicles to come forward to the Kota Tinggi police station to assist with investigations.
