A woman driver has been accused of speeding through a residential neighbourhood in Johor before crashing into a parked car and leaving the scene without checking the damage.
The incident, which reportedly happened at 10.51am today, was captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage shared by a Threads user identified as Mn.hkm.
In the footage, a car can be seen travelling at speed before allegedly hitting the side of another vehicle parked along the roadside in front of a house.
The woman then drives forward and stops briefly before getting out of her vehicle. However, she later gets back in and drives away without appearing to inspect the car she allegedly hit.
The Threads user claimed the driver gave an unrelated response when questioned about the incident before leaving.
“Driving so fast, then hitting the car. When questioned, she started talking about something else. Then she drove off. If you’re good at this, please check the number plate. Thank you,” the user wrote.
The user also clarified that the incident happened outside their family home, adding that the man seen coming out of the house in the footage was their father.
“This is my family home. You can see an uncle coming out of the house – that’s my father. This is not someone else’s video,” the user said, while sharing pictures of the damage to the car allegedly hit.
The post drew criticism from other users, with many questioning the driver’s behaviour. Some also reminded motorists to be cautious when parking along residential roads.
“She was driving so fast in a residential area,” commented a Threads user named Kalkausar.
Another user, Halimtiyaz, shared his experience with insurance claims involving cars parked outside homes.
He claimed that, based on his experience, traffic police might say that vehicles parked outside designated parking bays could face difficulties when making insurance claims. He also noted that local authorities could issue summonses for such parking offences.
However, another Threads user, Nadhmira, argued that the owner of the damaged car could still file an insurance claim, provided they had the offending vehicle’s registration number and CCTV footage as evidence.
She said she had experienced a similar incident and claimed police told her that the driver who caused the damage could still be issued a summons, regardless of whether the victim’s car was parked within a designated parking bay.
