Ford Ranger driver slammed for tailgating to avoid paying toll
WHILE most Malaysians dutifully pay tolls, a few drivers are determined to dodge the fee — even if it means endangering others on the road. A Ford Ranger driver has gone viral on TikTok after being caught tailgating another vehicle to sneak through a toll booth without paying. In the 13-second clip, the four-wheel drive (4WD) can be seen driving dangerously close behind a car before accelerating to slip past the boom gate. Once through, the vehicle slows down and continues on its way. ALSO READ: Netizens ashamed for Lamborghini Aventador driver who avoided paying the toll 'Bro thought the toll was already free as announced by the government,' read the sarcastic caption on the video. Based on the dashcam clip, the incident is believed to have taken place at 10.54pm on July 25. The post has since racked up over 180 comments, with many slamming the driver for refusing to pay a small toll fee — despite owning a vehicle worth RM100,000 to RM200,000. One user remarked, 'Drives an expensive car but can't pay the toll.' Another quipped, 'Pity him — all his money went into the car. Now there's not even enough left to pay toll. What about food money?' A third chimed in, 'All his money's gone to monthly car payments.' Meanwhile, Faiz Hamid didn't hold back: 'Shameful to drive such a big car and still skip the toll. 'Might as well drive a sardine can, bro.'

‘Many still unaware about State-funded insurance scheme'
Published on: Thursday, July 31, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jul 31, 2025 By: Mardinah Jikur Text Size: George (center) during the visit to the insurance office in Sandakan. SANDAKAN: The people of Sabah are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the accident insurance plan fully covered by the state government, to ensure they do not miss out on the benefits of protection in the event of an accident. Karamunting State Assemblyman, Datuk George Hiew Vun Zin, stated that this plan has been in effect since May 1, yet many people are still unaware of its existence. This plan really matters, especially for those with lower incomes. They are not required to pay anything, yet they are still covered. 'However, many people are still unaware of this insurance,' he said. He made the statement after visiting the Sandakan branch office of Progressive Insurance Bhd, the insurance company appointed to manage the scheme. George also sought clarification on the application and claims process to assist in facilitating the affairs of heirs eligible to make claims. This plan covers all local residents of Sabah aged between one month and 80 years, with a maximum compensation of RM10,000 for cases of death or permanent disability due to accidents. It also provides a funeral condolence payment of RM500. This scheme will run for three years until April 30, 2028. Compensation should be paid out as soon as 14 days, and no later than 30 days after all the paperwork is submitted. George stated that his service team has recently received several cases indicating that the victims' heirs were unaware of their eligibility to make claims. Therefore, heirs or eligible individuals may visit the Progressive Insurance Bhd office here with complete documents, such as a police report or death certificate, to apply accordingly. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
