While driving on the road, we may notice that our eyelids are getting heavier and in need of a quick snooze. However, it’s always important to do so in a safe manner.
A clip has recently gone viral on TikTok after it showed a middle-aged man taking a nap inside his car not by the side of the road, but smack right in the middle of it.
M’sian man sleeps inside car in the middle of Old Klang Road
In a 14-second video shared by @jaizahir yesterday (Dec 9), it showed the man snoozing away inside his car with his arm folded while the OP filmed him from outside.
However, a quick pan of the camera showed that the man had stopped his vehicle not by the roadside, but at the middle car lane.
Not wanting to endanger other motorists, the OP proceeded to knock on the window of the driver’s side in an attempt to rouse the man from his slumber.
Thankfully, it seemed that he was successful in doing so as the man responded with a wave of his hand.
According to the caption, the incident took place along Old Klang Road and that it took the OP a good 5 minutes to wake the man up.
Divided takes on clip
The clip has since garnered over 270,000 views at the time of writing and it also sparked a range of reactions from netizens.
On one hand, some criticised the man for stopping in the middle of the road to catch a quick nap, putting the safety of other road users at risk.
On the other hand, some urged for compassion and speculated that the man worked as an e-hailing driver and was exhausted from a long day of work or suffered health problems.
