PORT DICKSON – Police are on the hunt for a tanker truck driver who was caught using the emergency lane along the Seremban-Port Dickson Highway in viral dashcam footage.
In the 16-second video, the tanker truck was seen cruising down the emergency lane amid heavy traffic.
In the statement by Port Dickson District Police Chief Superintendent Aidi Sham Mohamed, the incident was believed to have occurred between 2 pm – 4 pm last Saturday (Dec 11) at KM27-KM28 of the Seremban-Port Dickson Highway.
