A honk meant as a friendly reminder escalated into a road rage incident involving a Ferrari driver in SS15, Subang Jaya.
According to viral dashcam footage, a Malaysian motorist honked at a man who was standing in the middle of the road, apparently to alert him that he was obstructing traffic. The man, who was beside his Ferrari at the time, reacted angrily to the gesture.
The footage shows the man staring aggressively at the driver after being honked at. The motorist then explained that he was blocking the road, but the explanation failed to calm the situation.
Moments later, the Ferrari driver got into his luxury vehicle and began revving the engine. The situation escalated when the dashcam owner made a U-turn near LRT SS15, prompting the Ferrari driver to pursue him. The Ferrari later overtook the motorist and deliberately stopped in front of his car opposite INTI College, blocking his path once again.
The man stepped out of his vehicle, but the dashcam owner managed to drive away before the situation worsened. Details shown in the footage indicate that the incident occurred on December 27 at around 4:10am.
