When we drive for the first time, especially after just obtaining our P license, it’s common to feel a mix of excitement and readiness to hit the road unsupervised. However, unintentional mistakes are inevitable, as one recent incident vividly illustrates.
Driver appeared smiling and composed despite the situation
A video posted on TikTok by @darkcepet has garnered significant attention, showing a female driver with a P license involved in a minor accident.
The 17-second clip captures the aftermath, with the driver’s car precariously perched on top of a road divider. Remarkably, the driver appears smiling and composed despite the situation.
Regardless of race, everyone helped the driver
The video takes an uplifting turn towards the end, showcasing Malaysians from all walks of life coming together to assist the young driver.
Regardless of race or background, everyone present did their best to help her out of the predicament.
There were no injuries
Speaking to WeirdKaya, @darkcepet provided details about the incident, which occurred at a bend before the turn to Bukit Segar in Kuala Lumpur, in front of a Petronas station. He described the scene:
“When I passed by, the car was already on the divider, so I stopped on the shoulder of the road. Then, a few motorcycles and cars stopped. But mostly, many just passed by without offering help.”
When asked if anyone was injured, @darkcepet confirmed that there were no injuries, including the driver. He also recounted the immediate actions taken by those who stopped to help:
“We (the public) who stopped helped lift the car off the divider. Then, the girl stopped on the divider in a safer spot.”
‘Maybe she was anxious and embarrassed’
Despite her outward composure, @darkcepet noted that the driver might have been anxious and embarrassed:
“She was okay. Maybe she was anxious and embarrassed because when I passed by, she was still in the car. She might have called for help.”
@darkcepet emphasised the unity displayed by the helpers, stating:
“I just want to highlight that everyone who helped did not consider race. There were Indians, Malays, and Chinese. So, netizens don’t need to aggravate the situation. This case is just a minor driver’s mistake. Maybe she just learned to drive.”
‘Let’s not laugh at others’
The comment section of the video saw a variety of responses, with many viewers offering their perspectives on the incident.
One commenter noted the driver’s ability to smile through the situation, while another shared empathy by recalling their own early driving experiences.
One commenter noted: “What’s funny is that she could still smile and laugh.”
Another shared empathy: “When we first started driving, we were like that too. So, let’s not laugh at others.”
Another urged understanding: “She’s human; surely she’ll make mistakes. Please learn and take lessons from this incident.”
