TL:DR – A Singaporean-registered Altis and a Trans cab travel on the fast lane of the causeway, but only the Altis gets apprehended by the Malaysian police.

 

There are no shortcuts in life.

Likewise, in recent times, there have been no shortcuts on the causeway.

If you’re sick and tired of waiting in the queue, you can always try your luck on the fast lane. You might get away with it, and you might not.

Just like these two vehicles in the 43-second video below.

What happened?

A Trans Cab followed by a red Altis cuts into the car lane from the fast lane of the causeway.

The Trans cab successfully merges into the queue, whereas the Altis did not have much luck as three officers eventually surrounded it.

Unspoken rule

I was very curious as to how the Taxi managed to evade capture.

Some of my colleagues mentioned that public transport (buses and taxis) could travel on the fast lane.

I even saw some comments that supported this claim.

I tried to search online for material that could further support this hypothesis, but I found myself hitting dead ends.

No official document from any authoritative body states that taxis are allowed to use the fast lane.

So, I’m still stuck with my question of “HOW?”

Maybe the comments section can enlighten me.

It looks like netizens are as confused as I am. What is a lucky escape? Or a ‘close one eye’ situation for taxis?

Click bait header... Everyone assume taxi driver will less likely have more money than private car driver to pay summon or bribe..so it is not to judge their judgement call whether  they are in good heart (to let less fortunate escape) or greedy (to expect bigger coffee money) [angel]

The Toyota Corolla Altis drive is favored for its reliability, fuel efficiency, resale value, safety features, comfort, and the trustworthiness of the Toyota brand. It provides a well-rounded package that appeals to a broad range of consumers, from practical buyers to those seeking a dependable, everyday vehicle.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Titan's Fall: Back to Square One

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon.
